Poem of the Week: BOKO HARAM: A MENACE (PART 1)

By Michael Olaore.

                I heard many had died Was it a plane crash A mysterious body rash A new pandemic That killed many like the Titanic Wake up from your slumber, here’s an alarm Be conscious, they are Boko Haram Are they in the government house Or the regular man on the street Believe it or not it hurts They’ve got the guts to kill for the elite Could this be blood money Is it true the bees have stopped making honey We shouldn’t fold our arms Because it doesn’t affect you or me They come like the night, they are Boko Haram We’ve heard about the tsunami And other catastrophes If we don’t stop this Boko tsunami Nigeria’s foundation will quake This menace will bring it down
