They lied to us

Bring Back Our Girls
Or be gone yourself

#BringBackOurGirls
Is all we want.
Is all we want.
Their only sin
To want a life
Better than most
An educated soul
That right denied
Replaced with pain
They took our girls
HE failed our gals.
To want a life
Better than most
An educated soul
That right denied
Replaced with pain
They took our girls
HE failed our gals.
All they wanted
Was to school in peace
On a moonless night
They crept inside
They failed our girls
THEY took our girls.

THEY took our girls.
#BringBackOurGirls
I wish I had
A magic wand
To wave and wish
A happy dream
To return in whole
Our stolen girls.
To #BringBackOurGirls safe & sound.
A magic wand
To wave and wish
A happy dream
To return in whole
Our stolen girls.
To #BringBackOurGirls safe & sound.
Yet so far
They took our girls
They broke our heart
The devils guest
Longing for home
To be with us
To be whole again.
A world gone cold
Despair dark & whole
A shiver streaks across
A mind wandering lost
To find girls stolen & gone
In chibok life stands still.
A mothers wail
A fathers scowl
Life torn apart
Comfort a forgotten thot
I yearn to see
The day my daughter returns
to home, to us..to me
A fathers scowl
Life torn apart
Comfort a forgotten thot
I yearn to see
The day my daughter returns
to home, to us..to me
#Chibok
