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!
