    The Poem 
    MY COUNTRY IS INSANITY

    I found myself in a country 
    where naked drummers with stinky 
    mouths carry the dreadlocks of citizens 
    to the bush

    Where Sambisa swallowed Leah 
    Sharibu and annihilated the 
    mortality of Abuh Ali to leave 
    us with a kaleidoscope of raped sorrows

    I found myself in a country where 
    Sambisa seduced and inflicted pains 
    in the orgasm of virgin boys who 
    went to school to learn.

    Where virgin girls were kidnapped 
    in the orgasm of the night to give a cowgirl to melancholic and fugitive raiders  of homes who chastised and preached with guns and death

    Where death lived in us and we 
    scratch her libido with fear and pain
    A country where Maryama's skirt is 
    covered with the blood of a virgin 
    Dele and Giwa are unrest until a 
    taste of her pride is tasted with force

    A country where Chioma can't bury
    her legs in the ejaculated soil of 
    Yasmin because sentiments have 
    perched her evil in our minds

    I live in a country where 
    leaders bath with corruption and 
    Cinderella's justice is served for dinner 
    every summer and winter

    A country where brutality wears 
    a hat to attack the homes of
    innocent citizens with death walking 
    like a madman with sanity to anyone
    who speaks of justice.

    A country where politics is a mad 
    man who runs naked to oppress men clothed in truth!
