About the Book

Boom! Boom!! Boom!!! It’s the sound of blasts and lives lost. Echo sounding with madrigal of terror, horror and of sorrow. Such melody of souls sprouting out of bodies. Blood! Blood!! Blood!!! A dreadful fluid of the dead and the almost dead. Swingeing in rage and languishing in anguish languidly. Tears! Tears!! Tears!!! A fluid of untold sorrow and agony unbearable. Gushing out of the broken eyes of the bereaved. Tales of gruesome evidence of human sacrifice and the grimy task of burying a plethora of bodies whose souls were separated. Measures of satisfaction derived by the scary shadows of human figure and the hypothetical protectors. Macabre; the plague taking over my Home of Peace, where dogs with serrated gnashing teeth are chasing and eating lions. An artificial curse, by the selfish brats with their deciet in camouflagry and their vile torturism of innocent civilians. Breaking, eking, and aching for the silence only the guns of these brats could bring.

"THE MID-NIGHT SUN
MUHAMMAD AL- BASHIR
Reviewed by Audu Haruna
THE MID-NIGHT SUN is a detailed account of the horrors and intrigues of the security challenges that has pervaded the North Eastern part of Nigeria for about 7 years now, as well as the precarious situation the inhabitants have had to endure for that long, written in simple prosetry, bringing the writer much closer to the reader, making the book a good choice for readers not familiar with poetry. In reviewing this book, the major criteria used included Organization, Content, Historical accuracy and Societal relevance. While occasional editing errors might be spotted, their impact is insignificant when compared to the beauty of the style and message of this work.
One could almost feel the tears of the writer mixed with ink, as his emotions were expressed unabated in all the sections into which the work was divided. The work was organized into seasons, and within each season, episodes. The work has a total of five seasons each graced with six episodes, an arrangement I particularly find poetically deliberate, adding a perfect aura to the work, though I believe some seasons really should have been more than six episodes. That however might be a consequence of how engrossed I was in the read that I wished it never ended so soon.
The Author, Muhammad Al- Bashir, being a native of Borno, the epicenter of the current security challenge plaguing the North Eastern part of Nigeria, places him in the best position to give a detailed account of the plight of his people with pinpoint precision, add that to him being a seasoned poet creates the perfect writer for such a work and after reading THE MID-NIGHT SUN, I can rightly say without prejudice or bias, that he did justice to that.
Starting with the first Season; MACABRE FOR PEACE takes us through the untold hardships of the people of Maiduguri, The capital of Borno State, brought upon them by the plague of terrorism; the uncerta
