LAMENTATIONS FOR AMINAT

Read Time:26 Second

Dedicated to the abducted Chibok School Girls

Aminat, O Aminat!
When you came
Our life danced
With drums and claps

Sorrow and grief were absent
Joy was our friend
Our precious life
Now had a successor

Your roots
Determined to cure the curse
Sent you to a stranger
To steal his precious magic

We never knew
Your grave we dug
Until the Cains’ children
Killed our precious Abel

You are now far away
Our joys turn pain
Misery is our life
When will the Devil return you home?
