Black June (A cry for Nigeria)

Like a tragic monster, came the month of June
Like the last days of Armageddon, it's full of doom

Each day I peruse through my news feed
Tears drop from my eyes, and my heart bleeds

People dying like flies
Blood of innocent souls looms our skies

Calamities everyday
our cry are all in vain

What was the sin of the one year old
Whose lifeless body floats the pool, stone cold?

We are all strangers in this world
And beyond the sky, is our abode

Just Yesterday, a tanker went out in flames
Many souls gone, who is to blame?

With teary eyes, I watched tape
I hear voices of innocent souls screaming in pains

I see fire burning through their bones
Oh! This world is not our own

You try to work hard everyday
Death comes snatching you away

Your sufferings all in vain
Your loved ones left in pains

Every night before I sleep
I pray to God my soul to keep

For death comes like a thief
It only takes grace to save us from it stings

P/S- Death is never our portion in Jesus name, Amen....
