Horror and Terror
By Bashir Yahuza Malumfashi
•••
Dedicated to All Victims of Banditry and Kidnapping
•••
Kidnappers lurk,
Bringing trauma
And fright.
Terrorizing lives,
Day and endless night.
Fear grips hearts,
Loved ones are lost
Leaving families shattered,
No matter the cost.
Their cruelty knows no bounds,
No shame.
Intimidation,
Strangulation,
Leaving scars to claim.
Arson,
Violence,
A gruesome display.
Leaving communities
To face another day.
The lost and frightened,
Cry out for aid
But find no solace,
In a system decayed.
Glaring government’s failure,
To protect and serve
Leaves citizens vulnerable,
With no one to deserve.
Insensitive to suffering,
They turn a blind eye
As insecurity spreads,
And hope begins to die.
They sabotage trust,
With every kidnapping tale
Leaving society shaken,
With a deepening gale.
Their actions a menace,
A plague on our streets
Leaving death and destruction,
Where love once meets.
No one is safe.
No one is immune
To the terror of kidnappers,
And their cruel tune.
We need total solution,
To end this painful plight.
To bring hope back,
And shine light on what’s right.
Oh my good people:
Let’s stand together,
Against this evil might
And fight for a safer tomorrow,
Where love shines bright.
