The Genie On the Loose

The genie is on the loose The genie is on the run Ali Baba and the 40 thieves Pandora box has been sprung; Pandemonium, helter-skelter strung. "Why did you do this"? He asked 'I heard a voice that ordered me' The genie on the loose And the people on the run. Running helter-skelter. The dragon unleashed Spanners in the works Too many cooks tending the broth Many phalanges eyeing the broth.. The Scilian code of silence is broken The genie on the loose. Zebra crossings in the game reserve Ebola the terror from Monrovia Revered in Lagos Nigeria. The genie on cruise control. Boko Haram in the North East Terrorists in religious garb, Weakness of the Nation awakened Reality dawns on the Conscience of A Nation The genie on the loose. At last our sacred realm Of peace has been broken. Fear reigns supreme at the Fringes of the the Country's borders We are now face to face with terror. The imagination of a Nation Held in a vice grip. (This was written in March, 2015) when the terrors of Boko Haram was at its peak ravaging Nigeria.
