THE THE UNKNOWN GUN MEN OF NIGERIA 🇳🇬

THE ROOT OF THE UNKNOWN GUN MEN

 

When we spoke gently 

They listened not to our voice with laughter 

Sad complaining voices of beggars 

They abandoned us to stagger 

 

 

 

When we cried roughly of our torments

Ever increasing from the start of things 

They watched our large mouths to hunger and shaped off the laughter of our big children 

Who will render to help Us? 

 

We clamoured and murmured 

Complained and maintained

They blocked ear to our pitiful tears

Which grows in us like a tumour in the white depth of our plaintive throats

 

Our dead bodies have have come up with the dead buried in the grave but our souls cries out for vengeance for we are fathers and mothers 

Brothers and sisters buried in years back 

 

We cried to the government when we were alive with our clumsy voices

But they were deaf to our cries 

They destroyed our hope of living with their promises 

They destroyed our markets which is our only means of survival left they vows hanged on the air 

 

Because of them,we died 

Because of them, we left the earth,

Leaving our cries on the air, on the water and other land for our sons to hear and trace.

 

Now they have traced it and have chosen to adhere to our cries

To avenge the government in repay of their deeds to us

Our sons are the UNKNOWN GUN MEN 

Who have chosen to wipe our tears 

For the happiness of their generation 

They watched us suffered when they were small 

They depended on the promises of the government which led to the lost of their love ones and now they have chosen to avenge their death 

 

This men can be your neighbor 

They can be your friend 

They can be your siblings 

But they are on a mission to avenge their death of their love ones
