It seems like we no
longer care.
We have stopped
matching and campaigning.
We have stopped
holding signs that show #bringbackourgirls
We have stopped
putting the hash tag on our twitter pages.
We have reduced the
way we write and talk about it
It seems we are no
longer putting pressure on the government to bring back our precious souls
We have
reduced/stopped gathering together to pray for the safe return of our girls.
World cup has taken
over.
Our support for
Nigeria took over until they sent us home
But we quickly found
another country to support
We have stopped
showing support and can you blame us?
It’s what time does.
Time makes the pain
reduce
We move on because
time is not really on our side and we have to keep playing the game life
occupies us with
But does time mean
anything to the relatives of those precious souls?
Does time lessen the
pain they feel everyday?
Afterall, what true
parent (abiamo toto) can sleep when the child is not sleeping,
Not to talk of when
they don’t know the whereabout of their child
Time also did
something.
While waiting for a
time to come when they will be re-united with their daughters,
Some parents have been
sent to their early grave.
Time has made us stop
drawing the attention of the world to the evil perpetrated by Boko Haram
Afterall, the story is
even looking shady.
We are asking
questions that threaten the validity of the report of the missing girls
But has time stopped
Boko Haram?
Will time stop them?
Time will only stop
them if we don’t allow it stop us.
If we don’t allow it
make us forget those girls need us.
Our future lies in the
wellbeing of this country.
Even if we run to
another country, home is still home.
And our home is being
threatened.
Our future appears
bleak and with each passing day, bleak it shall continue to be until we do
something.
Until we stop getting
tired because we are not seeing results.
Until we remain dogged
and keep working until our change comes.
Live your life
Be happy afterall this
life is all you’ve got.
Move on but please
don’t forget.
Remember! Please
remember.
Remember the precious
souls whose whereabout we can’t verify.
The precious souls
whose futures hang in the balance.
Remember the relatives
of the victims of Boko Haram who for now, don’t know how to move on.
It’s not happening at
your side now doesn’t mean it might not happen at your side.
Only time will tell
that.
But, don’t let time
dictate to you
Right now! This very
minute; take advantage of time and pray.
Take advantage of time
and put back those hash tags
Take advantage of time
and appeal to the government through your writing, songs, art, actions,
To please do something
because all our lives hang in the balance.
Government, please
take advantage of time and devise effective plans and work towards stopping the
complete death of Nigeria
Because Nigeria is
already dying.
Her people are living
in fear.
A lot of her people
are living on less than a dollar a day though she is a rich nation.
Her government is more
interested in politicking.
Her government is
actually against the people instead of being for the people.
Time will reduce the
pain we feel now in later years.
That’s only if we take
advantage of the time now and stop more havoc from being done in later years.
