An Aide Avowed Poem by UKWENI engee

Beautiful autumn mildly draw nearer
cold wind and inspiring colors
peace of mind and genial smiles draw near
replace the tears we shed
the words of hurt we speak
the heart ache we feel since
our girls went missing

Our girls, who were bright and auspicious
who aspired to be excellent workforce
through education, experience and exposure
not asking for the western education, religious discrepancy
political instability nor gender inequality
until these doofus struck
and our girls went missing

Softly, subtly and smartly struggling their way
through the strong superior arms of armed men
who in their innermost mind feel right
our national fathers sit around the table and tell tales
to her daughter Nigeria who sorrowfully listens
we miss the labors of our hero past
when our girls went missing

To our girls like Diana keep fighting
to our mothers, keep praying
the beautiful autumn is near
cold wind and inspiring colors
peace of mind and genial smile fill our heart
as our girls who went missing arrive
free, found and whole to still love Nigeria
