Life in the hands of Boko Haramites 
Is a basket full of both pain and agonies 
And chameleons that changes colour 
Where Sauntering lives in a confinement 
And your freedom is kept in your back pocket 
The wind blows hot like a boiling water 
The pain shine so bright like stars 
And the agonies are carved in a picture 
That cluster the memories of oppression 
Leah predicament is a testament to 
The failure of our disgruntled rulers 
Cum leaders, 
who find comfort in the pain 
Of pauper’s and beggars and the Boko Haram 
Militants whose tongues wail by spilling the blood of innocents. 
Leah is a girl whose dreams has been 
Hijacked by the forces of darkness 
Her dreams walk stark naked in a lonely Street 
Looking for mask to cover it’s face 
If Leah eyes could shoot gun 
I will use telescope to send my stomach to produce bullets 
And send my tongues to pull the trigger 
So it could shatter the brains of Boko Haram 
Foot Soldiers and sponsors. 
Leah, be rest assured that the rain carries your Freedom, and when it stops, the sun shall fight the rain to a standstill and free your freedom from the clutches of Pain and Agonies.
