A MOTHER'S ANGUISH ( CHIBOK)

Once upon a peaceful town
Now,peace has eluded us.
Our daughters have been kidnapped


It is no longer morning
Our morning is dark
The dark clouds haven't moved away
There's no sunlight and the darkness wont go away


The grasses whithers
The blooming roses fades
Our daughters have been away..
Sarah's bed has been unslept in how many days?
Laraba's dress still dangles in the hanger.
Will she ever wear that dress.

GOD!!
Tabitha's birthday is in a few days
Her mother is a shadow of her former self.
Are we ever going to see our daughters?

Where are our daughters?
Where are the pride of our nation?
A mother's joy and a Father's pride they are.
Our beautiful girls
Our smile when we cry

Our hope when we despair
Our Lives
Our lights
Our happiness
ABDUCTED
innocent girls
Taken away from us

We are counting the days
Our daughters have been gone
Too long
So long
Our hope wanes
Our hearts are broken
We try to pray


We try to hope
Tears flow
we try to be strong
The warmth of our hearts have grown cold.
Our hearts are heavy,
Please,

Our burdens are heavy
Who will wipe our tears
Who ?
Life just seems unfair.

Our daughters
Our precious jewels.
Are we going to see them again?
Have they been raped?
Are they pregnant?
Ha!
The pains of a mother...
A MOTHER'S ANGUISH
Stop these silent tears
we have forgotten how to smile
HELP US SMILE AGAIN
We miss our daughters.
Terribly.

These tears...
Stop the tears.
Abba, Father
Please #bringbackourgirls.

Somewhere in Chibok
A Mother is feeling this exact way

who knows exactly how they feel?
A chibok mother probably feels worse than what i just wrote.
