The Evi Lunatics

THE EVI LUNATICS

Have you seen a lunatic before?
There are some,
Quiet and love being alone at their own space.
Others talk all day, not for attention,
But for their own souls’ purgation.
Others cause rampage like marauding beast.
These are the ones causing us pain now.
They are the evil lunatics,
The products of their own evil mindedness and creed.
From the North to the South,
From the East to the West,
They wreak havoc here and there,
Leaving blood, pain and sorrow in their trail.

The evil lunatics are not only in the forest.
There are those who spew out hate
Behind their cowardly screen.
They are the delusional gospellers.
“Awon omo alainiran”
They are the ones whose mouth run senselessly like tap,
For few dollars from FB, IG AND TIKTOK banks.
They are the reservoir of fabricated lies.
Today they are everywhere.
If you come often to the FB Arena,
Be careful of many evil lunatics,
Their misery has split blood all over their brain,
Believe their stories at your own peril.
Nigeria has many evil lunatics,
Many are in the forest,
Others are scattered all over social media platforms



My country, Nigeria, has been going through a lot at the hands of terrorists. Many people have been kidnapped for ransom. Unfortunately, some individuals are also terrorising our collective psyche on social media by spreading fake news.

Oh. Modupe this is so sad. I pray one day your country can be at peace. Even in the states there is horrible division according to politics. Lovely seeing you here again
