God Was There

God was there! When you limped secretly In to Abochi's hut On that silent night And forcefully polluted Her virgin womb With the waste Of your foetus Making her bleed to dead God was there! When you ripped earth And buried that stolen treasure Which sent your blind brother to the gallows because You robbed his innocence too God was there! When you stood Before the multitude With the bloody fetish charm around your waist And impersonated him For wealth He was there, When you warned the people To abolish idol worship Yet you were a fetish priest In the gown of a reverend father God was there! when you poisoned Ebrahem Because he won the wrestling bout And made them stone to death Her innoncent wife For been a witch God was there! When you rifted The clan of ebo With the dirty untrue gossips You always mongered He was there! When you always plundered The wealth of the poor Eko travellers And robbed back the coins You always gave the blind begger God was there! when you always masked Your face to enter The village brothel You dubbed the nun(s) monastery God was always there Do not think You were always alone He watched you always You can cheat man not God!
