Fear Of The Night

If only the nights could be deterred. The dark of which loud footsteps waken the flesh to hours of terror.    For the past seven nights my eyes, brain and body has known no rest.  Dre beats no longer the ear prevent from gunshots...  For the past nights left me with both Joy and Regret of living big. You are almost protected physically from owners of the night but by the same things that makes you the target in the dark.   From gate to gates, home to homes, room to rooms well armed bikini men invaded and raided. NIGHT INVASION. Helpless we lay with the fear of been shot. Watching our parents and siblings too helpless in their hands. In the hands of children no match physically to their kids but for the fear for life and of guns They are bowed. Night into nights continuous robbery. Robbery in the heart of the Government. A shame to the government.  And I search for the days we benefitted for living amidst government officials loaded and well guarded with men of the Nigerian force. Our force. But none could arise in time of need. We are left only to our fence, burglary and security dogs while they enjoy in their rooms the comfort of the armed officials.    I recall the day i was punched for keeping hair while the ones that requires punch are hailed. The cost of the tears, health, sleepless nights and lost lives resulting greed and foibles of our Government they cannot repay for their heads shall lay the weight of all victims. Increase in crime and death rate yet they remain undeterred of their decisions and leave the people in strait.    Unforeseen efforts from our dim-witted officials whom in earnestness splurge our revenue. Am been disliked for writing against them and for every ogle.. Perhaps they have forgotten that their is one that we believe more on and has never failed. God.
