A jungle justice in Jos!

Our nation's neck beneath a cross.

Anguish in an acrobatic display. 

Darkness has dressed-down a day.

A state hangs on a political noose.

A brutal bondage, who will loose?

Seems like a sacrilegious sacrifice. 

Human blood as a political price.

These are indeed sad times;

forget the beauty of the rhymes.

The tsunami of terrible tears...

sounds of sorrow subdue our ears.

Nigeria as an abattoir. 

Butchers with blades so superior. 

The march of millions of murders. 

Black brothers killing brothers.

Our lands have turned to blood.

The free flow of a fierce flood.

This world is coming to an end.

A fact no science can bend.
