Oh as you shade those tears all night long awaiting for morning but seems to be far,
As you are rolling on the floor, wishing for someone to tap you by the back or shoulder and comfort you but it seems to be a mirage or imaginary.
You wonder throughout those hills and mountains seeking for a refuge, wishing the mountains could open and serve as a hiding place instantly,
Oh all you need is protection from terrorist. When you think you have gotten the needful suddenly all you could hear is gun shots,
You scream as you stand in amazement thinking of what next to do, oh suddenly you realized that that your thoughts are hunting you and all you could do is to recall how it begins.
How it began in Maiduguri and we all said its their problem, how is shifted to Yobe and we said it is far from us, how it happened like a dream in Madagaline, Michika, and Mubi and before we could realized that It is not their problem but ours collectively, the attack have reached in Gombi, Hong, and even the Yola that we all said they can’t penetrate.
Now we are all tense by the activities and operations of Boko Haram in Northeast and even Nigeria itself. Now is it their problem or our problem?
