I Hear Crying Wombs Poem by Orifah Samson

I Hear Crying Wombs

i'm reminded in deep pains
the indescribable pains
i watched mother hen share
when the hawk swooped down......
on its chicks
like thousands of our Chibok girls...

I can hear
loud and clear
all over the world
crying wombs
asking for the fruits
of their childbirth pains
asking for their safety
asking for their freedom
asking not just for their children
but asking for our tomorrow's wives
asking for our tomorrow's mothers
asking for our future...
