Massacre In the Cathedral

That Pentecost Sunday in Owo As worshippers assembled For the rain of Holy Spirit Men of the underworld Wielding the tools of their ungodly trade Rained satanic bombs and bullets on innocent congregants And two scores lay dead While many more injured Leaving families devastated Dreams brutally cut short And reign of fear foisted on The hitherto peaceful community All in the name of extremism And misguided religiosity What a sacrilege in God’s temple? What a desecration of His sanctuary? What an audacious confrontation with God In His terrestrial abode? The wicked will never go unpunished Vengeance is of the lord At His time they will reap The fruit of their wickedness
