Who is safe?
From the fangs of these deadly merchants
Bearing goods from the pit of Hades
Painting the streets red with the blood of our kin
Wit incessant blasts like a hook on repeat
The nation is in pain, our people in agony
Because these cowards sold themselves to a devilish delight
Death became lord of their souls
Exchanging their sanity with satisfaction of horror
Or what else explains their acts so heinous
The lives of fellow men doesn’t worth a dime
They are demons veiled by soulless epidermis
From their hell ordered agenda
Who is safe?
Our folks are daily being snatched from our embrace
Ferried on a crimson ocean to the great beyond
Our loved ones like wax are melted by flames of agony
Family are thrown into inconsolable chaos
Endless mourning became daily routine of embittered souls
Yet the serpentine allies keep biting at our heels
Who is safe?
Once boisterous streets are turned desert lands
Peace became a fading memory in the corners
Any loud noise sends shivers down your spines
Anxiety of the next blast becomes a bosom friend
You rethink before visiting your regular spots
Any venue is home to these sons of perdition
Who is safe?
Let our leaders wake from their slumber
Stop voicing political and religious agenda
We all are NIGERIANS, this evil attacks us all
Our government should be proactive and not reactive
Stamping out the flames of this venomous menace
If it is allowed to rampage on unchecked
Who is safe?
We want our nation back
We want our lives back
We want our girls back
We want an end to this siege
We want an end to Boko Haram
We want to stop asking ourselves
WHO IS SAFE?
