let them go (bring our daughters)
nearly 300 young women were abducted from their Northern Nigerian high school
by members of Boko Haram, an Islamic militant group
they are held captive
prisoners by their own kind
for what? power? corruption? beliefs that differ from everybody else?
you are destroying innocence of frighten eyes
not understanding why they are being enslave
let them go
you taking away one's rights
you stripping them of their freedom
you negating their education of changing the world in keeping villains like you off the streets
do not treat these young ladies the way someone would treat your mother
the intention of wanting to sell young women as prostitutes is sickening
as a nation, we are asking, please let them go
