BOLATITO is dragged along the road,
She is molested for no reason.
When she protested,
Her adopter closed her mouth
And took advantage of her.
Yet we were there,
But you said it was not your business.
So long as they didn’t take your stuff,
You were less concerned.
Adamu is oppressed for being an orphan,
He is subjected to hardship
Because there is no one to speak for him.
They took what belongs to him,
Yet you were there,
But you said nothing.
So long as they didn’t touch your stuff,
You kept quiet.
Chukwudi is suspended for airing his opinions,
He was sacked for no clear reason,
He was thrown out of the office.
Yet you were there,
But you said nothing.
So long as they didn’t touch your stuff,
You kept quiet.
One day, you were there in your room,
About to enjoy your possessions,
Then you saw a jeep,
With lots of people inside,
Come to seize your hands from your belongings.
You forgot that your own time would come.
You never believed it could ever be your turn.
