Menace Rules

Marauding terror, terrorizing toddlers,
Evil has a face covered with vicious attire.

Nihilism is propagated on the podium of religiosity,
Adversity advances unabated by diversity.

Conflicting ideologies kindled by power drunks;
Engaging in power plays, parading as monks...

Resonance of sombre cries,
Unleashing downpours on the savannah plains
Leaving the tares to blossom by sunrise;
Evil continues to reign unrestrained, 
Sustained by the docility of the masses.... 


On the menace called Boko Haram..
