Like it is not enough that they have been deprived of their loved ones, their homes, education and peace, these victims of circumstance are being subjected to untold hardships and even deprived of food and amenities donated to them.
Imagining the hell the Internally Displaced Persons in Northeast Nigeria are going through, I decided to pen this down as my own means of reaching out to them since I have no money or position to effect a change in their lives right now.
In between overwhelming Alps
Lies a fertile ground
Where it never stops raining
All day flows an endless stream
Of trepidation
This valley balefully bullied by
Torrents of negligence and injustice
Prone to hailstorm of insecurity
Studded with pilferers of destiny
The bounty hunters came and claim their spoils
The philanderers were not left out
And here I am stuck in wonder
Of when the farmer will take action
To savage his tender valley
That flows an endless stream
An endless stream of hot tears
Hot tears I see in the face of the IDPs
