Boko Haram Ii Poem by Babatunde Aremu

My dear parents,
Read this letter carefully
Its revealing my life ambition
Athough I look gentle but I'm crude
I like to be rugged
Just in case you don't know
I intimately detest western education
Are you suprised about this revelations
Despite all the degrees I have acquired?
Well, that was my past misdeeds
I don't want any one to repeat my mistakes
Don't sigh about my turn around
I have just discover by divine revealation
That western alphabets are satanic verses
For my future, I have a plan
I am using religion as a pretext
To cause mayhem, behead, thrust out foetus
Scorch houses, ruin cities,
Loot treasuries, kidnap children.
There shall be hues and cries across our land.
Through the oceans of blood in our land,
Prophetic mandates shall be fulfilled,
A new nation will be birthed
Where it is forbidding to read alien books.
My mother, don't worry about me,
By the time you will read this
I must be in the jungle
Where human lives does not matter!
I am no longer yours, good bye
Commander, Boko Haram Brigade
