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!
