THE TEARS BEHIND OUR SMILE

![PicsArt_03-13-09.50.17-04.jpeg]( TEARS BEHIND OUR SMILE

Trying times and dark ages is just becoming darker
It’s still the same sad story just another Chapter

Have you ever been shot only one time?
Have you ever screamed and no one heard your cry?
Have you ever live only so you can die?
Have you ever die only so you can live?

I guess not ……………

They have experienced all
The pain and agony
The blood and tears

Just to keep us safe and happy
They were killed in Borno
They were killed in Benue
They were killed in Plateau
And they are still dying …………

We asked?
Why shedding all the blood for?
Is it religion, culture or politicians sponsoring?
Our fathers dying
Our brothers dying
Husbands dying
Children rendered fatherless, with no provider
Dying of hunger
This is not a country we planned for (One Nigeria?)
This is not life but lives on death roll

Soldiers!
Flee from these machine men
With no heart, no soul
Now you have to give yourself up to the rebels every day by day
So your family can obtain the price attached to your death,
Your blood for a better life.
