trading lack of co-empathic love
for your zealous theoretical salvation agenda,

Would a faithful Moslem or Jewish witness

Lost in the economy line,
voters don’t have a clue
that liberty is through.
Apathy dictates all else is fine.

Oh,Boko Haram
For how long are you stopping the brutality?
Which has given sleepless nights resulting in insomnia?
Of some hard-working people of Nigeria

Feeling it swell their minds and bodies,
Exulting...
