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!
