POETRY CORNER – “BRING BACK OUR GIRLS” WRITTEN BY AKOR EMMANUEL

Bring Back Our Girls

Mother earth no longer
holds her dignity.
As the salt that gave
the sea
it’s salinity,
was stolen some
365days ago.

Kept faraway in
desert lands.
Hanging upon sand
dunes
with guns daily to
feed the eyes.
Potential diprivation
and doom.

Bring back our girls,
for mother’s
fingers
have being crossed
far too long.
For our match to
sambisa
have seen our feets
covered with
blood.

Bring back our pride.
For if western
education
is a sin,
you wont own guns
which you use
to kill.

Bring them back
to live among
sane people.
Hide under the garment
of religion nomore.
For God is not
weak,
he can fight his own
war(s).
