These Men Are Insane

Insanity was at its peak again Humanity degraded. . . debased Lives of fellow beings became toys They massacred thousands For the Holy war They smouldered while laughing Matchetes and cultlass were freely used Heads roll on the street Part of body littered major road, even in Major street6 They are fighting for Allah Whose commandment is for all to love one another Who are they then fighting for? Are these men not really insane? Insanity runs down their veins Ignorance gush through their blood Wickedness reigns in thier heart Men that are not fit for our society Must we wait again For another display of insanity? We must stop it now. Alayande Stephen T. 12.32am 12/10/2008 An account of brutal massacre occasioned By unbridled religion intolerance in Kaduna State, Nigeria in 2002 during the aborted Miss World Beauty Contest in Nigeria as Narrated by an eye witness Latifat of UNILORIN.
