Boko haram

They have bomb the pot,
that is what I heard,
and they are advancing towards our house,
that is what they say.

What is Boko Haram?
I paused to asked,
but they stared at my face as novices,
thinking i will be afraid of their smile.

The light was as dark as now,
the rain was all over the place,
people cried it in their pales, buckets and plate,
but i was waiting to know the meaning of Boko Haram.

"yesterday was Borno" a man hissed,
"today Abuja" added another,
"tommorow maybe here" i added, they all grumble starring at my innocent face.

I am not saying this to make you cry or smile,
but that is the freedom we all fought for, the war that claim so many heros,
the struggle for survival and a fight against underdevelopment and poverty.

Our government must learn to crawl even in sleep, not waiting for storms or strikes,
before they act to protect our hard earn DEMOCRACY.
