ADUKE IV. Our lives had been Reduced to that Of those whose fate Is to die with their kings (Abobaku) We no longer taste fresh breath As stench of dead bodies Wails of dead aunties Tears of murdered parents Sobs of stunted destinies Are the vision that chases us from dreams Into a vigilante conciousness. Aduke, times are hard. You, Into my arms again Is my wish But how shall the river return To the stream that birthed her She is a story that has an author. The chiefs are in safer quarters, This war do not reach them Yet, we war without shield against unknown arms Aduke, Dont ask why! Why is rhetoric To villagers like me Whose dreams are shattered by the tragedy Of a flashlight in the story of a camera-man. I heard the world is watching us Die And that the king, would fly To a meeting Or set up a comitee To decide how we will live or die Like the games in a rich forest. Aduke, I have heard the tales of Chibok I hope I am not writing this tales To an empty address. I hope you eyes With salty waters reads this and Pray for our Village Oke-Oya! I have decided to go with death If it comes with a lorry For a ride into an endless journey To the town of the forgotten ones. Aduke, I have decided to die Only in my homeland. © tohquality
