'COME HOME'

This poem is written for our missing sisters, The CHIBOK GIRLS. I pray that God will bring them home safely.

‘COME HOME’

They are their mother’s love

Their father’s jewel

A mini-mother to their siblings

Future home builders

Separated from their loved ones suddenly

Can someone tell me where they are?

Where are they?

I need an answer

Are they dead or alive?

I see them in pain

Tears of agony is their water

Have they been raped?

Have they lost their dignity?

Oh! What a tragedy

To the oppressors

You will not live long

Vultures food shall your flesh become

Pain, agony and sorrow shall be your companion

Come Home, Come Home

Come Home my sisters

Daddy is dying of silent sorrow

Mummy is going insane by the day

Siblings tears have turned to flooded river

Come Home, Come Home

Let Sorrow turn to Joy

I pray that God will bring you home safely
