Reflect Nigeria Tragic Fiction 5 – Prayer Of An Abducted Chibok And Now Dapchi Girl
I am weary of this horrendous and feigned existence that I am forced to live
And seek complete deliverance, like some of my comrades in chains before me,
Fortunate to be relieved eternally, from the atrocities of oppression that are
Conjoined with the degradation and unveiled brutality of sexual bondage,
Into the embrace of death, from this unbearable agony that ceases not.
For I understand, that it is a transition through redemption, to eternal peace.
Which is what I seek, like some of us, who have since had the tragic fortune
To escape, from this realm, like birds from the captor’s grip, but forever free.
That respite, is what I urgently need from the endless lashing of the torture,
From the shackles of despair, as all innocence is lost from these forsaken woods
Where neither normalcy nor joy nor hope abound, and evil reigns supreme.
I said my prayers silently, the prayers of my own faith, to remove me swiftly
And instantly, from this place, and for this, I now without patience await.

World – Ponder This
The fact that the gender that bears and brings forth humanity
Is often treated with unveiled disdain and repugnant brutality
Truly, is an irreconcilable absurdity of the human existence.
Save our girls!

Reflect Nigeria – The Right To Live …
Is an inalienable right of every human being.
Not simply because it is reinforced in documents
Or exalted by the pedestal of conscience and morality.
No, the right exists for all humanity, every one.
Even if it is not committed to writing.
And contained within the essence of that right,
Is indeed the right to pursue one’s dreams
To the magnitude of their possibilities
Irrespective of one’s gender, and this right
Extends to all, including all young girls
Innocently pursing their dreams amid
The seemingly innocent halls of their school.
Save our girls.

Thus, all girls like the rest of humanity
Are entitled to live their lives
And to pursue their own dreams
