After War (Woman)2 Poem by Ojok Isaac

They took me far away from you
Somewhere I've never been to
Somewhere I don't know
But I still know the name of our village
I still know your name
I know you know my name too

I love you
I love you
I love you

I was getting married to you
The man I love.
Your skin was so dark.
Your eyes were white
Your chest was broad
Your luscious lips
Gave my lips a friend.

"ento abin adoko cika adui"
(but I became the wife of rebels)
Forced, raped and threatened
Heartless men...so heartless
In the bush I don't know
