Confused Cry is a poem written by David Awunor (me). This poem is dedicated to the parents of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls.
Confused Cry
I cry 'cause i'm confused.
Cant simle, its of no use.
Bring back our girls, i plead.
Although you may not keep our girls, i bleed.
I miss them so much, i miss the relationship we've formed.
I want us to be in touch, but you may not keep them away from being bombed.
When there is an attack or a bomb goes off, i cry 'oh what a lose'.
Too many people have being killed, enough! then i hear a wisper 'they could have being one of us'.
I don't know if our girls are being used like a slave, but aleast i have hope they maybe safe.
I can't move around freely in my country because no where is safe, i am scared and confined in my shattared apartment like a slave.
Oh Nigeria what a shame, why have you allowed yourself to be torn apart by religion.
Your inhabitants fight and kill themselves all in the name of religion, something their fore fathers knew not of and lived in peace, what a shame!
How will you grow when a male or female inhabitant can't get a job they are qualified for just because they don't pratice same religion with the boss?
How will you grow when a male or female inhabitant can't get admission into a university outside his or her state to study any course?
How will you grow when the right man or woman to rule you is not elected just because he is not from Delta, Ibadan or Jos?
How will you grow when your rulers make promises and fail to keep their words?
Untill your inhabitants realise they all worship the same God in different ways but call him different names you will not grow nither shall they.
Untill your inhabitants realise their diversity in culture and tribe is not a mistake or a crime but a blessing to them from God you will not grow nither shall they.
Untill your inhabitants come together and relent and begin to see and use their diversity as strenght you will not grow nither shall they.
Untill your inhabitants who are rulers realize they were placed there by God not to embezzle money but to move the country forward you will not grow nither shall they.
Till then all i will do night and day,
Is to go down on my kneels and pray.
Hoping and helping our military to find a way,
To bring back our girls and keep our land safe.
