A poetic exploration of terrorism and terrorists by Abdulbasit Abubakar Adamu

'Blood Plantation' by Abdulbasit Abubakar Adamu

In a peaceful state of co-existence

some farmers with mechanised tools

came upon the growing plants

slitting out their lives like weeds in rainy days.

In their large farms of bigotry

they claim to make sacrifices

to the God that brings rain to water these plants

really, I wonder

who should help God fight

they think they were born to fight

but I wonder if they were truly notified.

destroying other people's farm

they created theirs.

a plantation of prejudice and bloodbath

they left this uncultivated seedlings displaced

while they left the life plants misplaced

these cruel Gardeners,

I wish all your efforts be cancelled and debased.
