Child Hood Prayer

child hood prayer

i cry to u JAH
see tear on the eyes of the poor
see the inocent dead body on d street 
see the cry of our beloved mothers 
see the porverty in every side 
see the lack of food, house, clothing not to talk of shelter, 
see darkness every where, no electricity, 
see the christian brother and sister dieing cos of religion and hatered
see the acidents cos of bad road,
see the men on black and black in d name of police killing the inocent, 
see my people in every jail in every part of the wold,
see my black  beautiful african sister turning  prostitution to a normal daily job,
see my brother becomeing arm robbers every day by day,
oh jah i can not ask where are u, becos i know u are watching, am a poor ghetto naija boy,but i belive in ur power oh JAH,
 please hear the cry of the poor, nigeria belive in u, safe my people from this calamity, remenber u said in ur word( ROM 10 VS 13,) that for whosoever calleth upon the name of the lord shall be safe, i richard nnoli call upon ur name oh JAH safe my beloved contry NIGERIA,IN JESUS NAME AMEN.
