SHOULDN’T WE BE
WEARY?....D'Ola
If you see darkness around you always
Would you not get worried?
Not for the presence of darkness itself
If you hear and see evil daily
Shouldn’t you be troubled?
Not for the presence of the malefic itself
But for the scarcity of good
If you see a beggar today
And suddenly tomorrow he’s rich
Will you bother yourself?
Will you pause and debit a smile from your face?
If you see the ‘righteous’ becoming
Zaccheuses not wanting repentance
Will you marvel and credit a wink?
If a shepherd fleeces his followers
Instead of feeding them
Will you question him or leave him to ‘God’?
If you see a teacher
If you see a teacher
Saying 16 is greater than 19
Or, 5 is senior to 26
Wouldn’t you ask what mathematics it is?
Common in our midst are old men
Common in our midst are old men
Rubbishing their elderliness in high pruriency,
lusting after children.
Will you buy their idea of idleness –blaming the devil?
lusting after children.
Will you buy their idea of idleness –blaming the devil?
Won’t you query if the devil is not the one talking already?
With the prevalence
Of irksome irrationalities in Nigeria
Shouldn’t we be weary
Of the End Time?
Of the End Time?
