The people plea by Aihie Princess
People greeting each other
kissing a brotherly kiss;
meaning no harm;
moving with no arm
A quiet and communal life
Fathers farming ;
Mothers marketing;
Children listening;
while been told tales of wisdom
Everyone living as united
Now! that place a desolation
Ashes of innocent bodies;
hanging bodies everywhere
Farmland burnt;
Children once in school
now at home
Schools burnt;
The existing people
looking malnourished
Fertile but now futile
Graves more than births
Calling the government;
but no giving us deaf ears;
Gnashing of their teeth
Markers now a grave yard
A food basket of a nation;
now a hunger zone
An abbatoir of cows;
now a slaughter of humans
A traumatic experience
Babies removed from their mum back
Fathers head cut off from their neck
Pregnant women babies ;
cut from their womb
Children legs cut off
A tragic sight to behold
Eyes blind, lot of cries
sobbing and sobbing
a cry of prayer;
a people of plea;
Echoing God heal our land!
