The Aboke Lassies Poem by Stephanie Apila

The Aboke Lassies



Abducted brutally from the familiar land
Sexual harassment the utmost terrifying
They were twisted in to lamenting mothers
Picturing it only plants goose pimples.

Turned in to cannibals and murderers
They were left with no choice but chose life
They trekked alongside monsters,
Used as relaxing substances for the insurgents.

The innocent school girls shed tears
Their lives turned in to a living lake of fire
Who will give them hope of being free?
Where are the concerned?
