IN GOD WE TRUST,IN AFRICAN LEADERS WE RUST

IN GOD WE TRUST,
IN AFRICAN LEADERS WE RUST
Over 2000 priceless human bodies
Lay lifeless & scattered like billy goat dung
Left,right & center on the streets of northern Nigeria.
A bunch of misguided idiots,
With high libido for shedding innocent blood,
Freely & defiantly go about their operations in Nigeria,
Right under the noses of ECOWAS & the African Union(AU).
Every second of every minute,
Whispers terror into the hearts of northern Nigerians.
Every hour of each day,
Seem to be the last for most of them.
Fear and panic have been their daily bread for ages.
17 lives were lost to terror in France,
And the whole world has strongly risen against it.
Over 2000 lives were taken in Nigeria,
And the world appears loudly silent on it.
The life of the black man now seem equivalent
To that of a Christmas chicken.
A single white life lost inhumanly
Instantly becomes breaking news on all major news networks.
Yet, 1000s of black lives are callously lost each day
To ebola and other inhuman occurrences
And it is business as usual.
Who do we blame for the neglect of the black man?
Who do we hold responsible for the inhuman treatment
Metered out to the African?
Who do we hold accountable for the seemingly
Worthless life of the black African?
Well, the West is as innocent
As an isolated barbed electric wire.
The antelope will never find itself swimming in the cooking pot
If it doesn’t expose itself to the bullet of the hungry hunter.
Africans & African leaders in particular are the canker.
Yes, we are!
Which man in his right senses
Will joyously attend dinner with the Queen
When his children are painfully dying at home?
Boko Haram gruesomely took over 2000 human lives
In northern Nigeria,
And no African leader in his right mind rose to condemn
Or took any positive step against it.
Yet, 17 people were killed in France
And six shameless African presidents
From Mali,Gabon,Togo,Benin,Niger & Senegal
Travelled 1000s of miles across the ocean
At the expense of their respective country’s tax payer
To join in a march against terror.
Amazing!
They couldn’t travel 100s of kilometers over land to Nigeria
Yet, had the impudence to fly 1000s of miles over the ocean to France.
We are our own enemies as black Africans.
We are the major source of our own neglect,
And our African leaders are in charge of the continent’s destruction.
The Creator has blessed the continent
With resources and brilliants brains,
But these leaders will not give chance to reason & common sense.
In God we trust,
But in these apology of African leaders,
We rust!
