My country's image is waningA
Each passing dayB
What can we make of herC
Coat of ragsD
Let's burn her shadow andE
Make us a tattoo of griefF
Epitaph hugging her obituaryG
Consternation in silenceH
-
ViolenceH
That riotous beauty sought afterC
all overC
Scorching deserts toI
creaky creeksJ
Plateau tops toI
plain greensK
-
Even the rains have lent in their criesL
Witnessed on the faces of charred victimsM
Whose offspringsM
KankaraC
KagaraC
ShiroroC
OwerriC
ChikunN
KajuruC
ZamfaraC
OyoO
AbaP
AbakalikiA
BenueN
Wail each day till their throats run dryC
Till their famished mothersM
No longer hold high bony fistsM
Above pale facesM
-
Evolution of vulturesM
Ant infested faggots are up in armsM
What's the fate of the fetcherC
