Silent hatred echoes
As dreams are destroyed
Bodies dumped on bodies
The foul stench of death
“Boko boko”
Tick tock tick…
Fear is the blanket
Agony is the bed
Laughter turned to screams
Happiness turned sour
“Boko boko”
Tock tick tock…
Safety is history
Hope becomes desolate
Madness reigns in disaster
“Boko boko”
Tick tock tick…
Children carted away
Mothers singing the song
Fathers burdened with grief
“Boko boko”
Tock tick tock…
Evil becomes our pledge
Chaos becomes our anthem
Corruption becomes our oath
Hell becomes our ally
“Boko boko”
Tick tock BOOM
Dedicated to every life lost to Bokoharam
Nice progression.
Especially love the tick tocking at intervals and the end with the Boom.
This piece needs to go further than this blog Favour.
