AGONY OF OUR LAND
AGONY OF OUR LAND!
By Kushi Achi 22'
Indeed,
The Centre Of Learning(KADUNA) has no knowledge where's our pride?
We are driven out to pursue living out of our homes,
Filling camps and still in fear.
While we sleep shots are still fired,
Many wounded and souls taken.
Oh! TERROrists have defiled our soil,
Devastated the beauty of our land,
Daily souls are buried,
Our lands are filled with blood, bones and dried flesh.
My Tears cry,
The soil is no longer GREEN,
It's decayed and polluted with our own bodies.
God forbid we feed on our brother's flesh.
When will all this end?
When will I be able to see my family?
