HARDSHIP

 I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere, a place I called home as made me homeless.

HARDSHIP, has taken over the land, my country, Our giant of Africa it (HARDSHIP), has buried our slogan in the mud and has made us forgotten who we were years ago.

We've become beggars in our own land, we've become labourers in our own fields. 

Brave youths are made hopeless, there's nothing to live for, some may say and some have said. 

Parents has made it a family business to exchange their kids for food, hardship drives.

My country has become the land of the unknown,our country has become famous for its bad deeds and not the good.

Kidnapping has become a white collar job that pays well in our country, children has turned against parents, parents against children just as mentioned in the Bible.

killing of humans has become everyday routine. Some has encountered how it feels to be kidnapped, some has witnessed the pain of seeing the lives of their loved ones forcefully taken from them, speechless they've become, the shock won't let them say a word about what their eyes have seen.
