shallow

hollows

holy

as the right to sing

lullabies under an African sun

poverty nurses

fed up

anger

laid in ostrich nests

girls stolen

boys chosen

to feed poverty’s ache

clothed in terror’s

which

when fed

grows

til 20,000 dead

pay

for

Boko Harem’s

hunger

shall i say it again ?

lullabies

under an African sun
