Chibok Girls Poem by Murtaza Micky Yusuf

Chibok Girls



I weep for thee, oh CHIBOK
Oh My beloved Chibok
Oh, my daughters
How I missed you CHIBOK
Eyes stared in disbelief
A mouth wide agape
The Ear is bombarded
In an endless forays
Sounds of increased tempo
Mothers are wailing
Fathers can't sleep
Girls& boys worry
The heart rumbles
Protesters filled the streers
#BRINGBACKOURGIRLS
What a social media buzz
A Nationwide log jam
When the Executive wields no power
An Army that can't shoot
A disjointed faceless forces
Citizens can't be wrong
~MurtaZa Micky Yusuf

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem was invented as a necessity of a national call at a time many Nigerian parents were outraged by the incredible abduction of CHIBOK Girls- - I dedicate this story to the author of Half of a Yellow Sun, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, a super girl! What if She was abducted like the Chibok girls!
