Nigeria, May 10 -- She shot, A point-blank The bullet force comes It wants to pierce, Into me, Into the heart, Leaving me lifeless Speechless at all.

The bullet goes, Like a flame It reignites Explodes Makes noises, Loud screams To me, I dare not stand.

The gun is seized, It is a weapon To use on the enemy But sister am I, Your enemy? I don't think Only you think it, And strike it.
