Clarion Call: Arise O Compatriots

Source
I remember when I was younger, we would sit outside either gazing at the stars or listening to folk tales told by our elders, those where fun times, infact they are times I want back. A time in our country where we felt safe, we didn't have much but we were happy. A time when kids were kids and lacked the knowledge of evil.
What ever happened to those times? when did my country become so evil that even kids aren't trustworthy? in short these are scary times but I am in the southern part of Nigeria, and although it has its own woes it is nothing compared to what my brethren in the North are facing.
There are no kids blowing people up for whatever reason, there are no herdsmen maiming and slaughtering people on a daily, we aren't chased out of our homes, nor are we forced to grow up without parents because they have been killed by hoodlums.
Oh! What is going on, we used to be our brothers keepers, I wish we could go back to those days where life was sacred and we loved our neighbors, A time we weren't suspicious of the people who walk past us or board a vehicle with us.

I stamp my feet and stand my ground saying, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, Enough of the BOMBINGS, ENOUGH OF THE KILLINGS, WE ARE ONE PEOPLE, I steal a phrase from our National Anthem "Though Tribe And Tongue May Differ,In Brotherhood We Stand".
