RELIGIOUS UNREST
The only manifestation of proselytization
In my country are heinous scenes of mass slaughter
Of the innocent in crusades of blood festivals

Where the blood lusting armies
Of Islam and Christianity
Massacre more than the mouth can recount

Religion is now a sable garment
Where political gurus and monks
Manipulate the gullibility of beliefs

Of blind fanatism
Of robotic remote incensing

Religion, the Pinnacle of self-styled peace
That does not permit the land a days sleep
Sharpening bigotry, prejudice and anarchy

Oh, behold the ethnic war lords!
Armed with flaming blades of deceitful Faith
The cudgels of blind belief systems
To promote selfish personal interest

And bludgeoning unity into discord
In charred dwelling places and cities
Burning bethels of worship
Roasting bowels of a weeping nation

From Jos to Kaduna, Lagos to Aba
There are no holy sanctuaries
As every infidel blood delight the Sabre
Wielded by bloody hands of religious calvaries.
