Girls And Guns Poem by Chukwuebuka Adebayo

Girls And guns
Boy and bombs- -
Two grenades' sprays had darkened the sky
here and there- were crying for help
Houses straining against houses,
Thick fire surged to cocoa-house heights.
the clashing, the swelling of dust and wind
Nigeria-Every news are now reporting
the hunt had done away with the chiboks girls
another hard explosions piercing the air
A little girl clawed out of the window
grasping through the smokes with one hand
holding her stomach with the other
A man followed her up with a gun
and fired her again and again
the killing has led madaugiri army here
but the bombers themselves have vanished- -
in shambiza forest maybe, the police believe
there is this assassin who headed the gang
he had put the students into a big lorry
and drove them to no trace
in the past few weeks, reporter said
those acquainted with him in the force
have had him as an ex-trained soilder
but his cohorts are young girls and boys
how do you then hunt A-million gang
if you kill one and a thousand seek your soul?
