But rejoice,
all you that mourn because,
you are highly favored.
You went through that
unnecessary harrowing experience
unwittingly just to have a prove that
you are a peculiar person.
Every gold must be tested by fire.
That seeming wickedness happened,
just to move you to the place of destiny
God has intended and prepared for you.
Look around you and see the hand of God.
Why do you think you survived that fire,
that accident that took many lives,
the massacre by the insurgents,
why did they took you captive
and later set you free,
shot and wounded but left you to die,
but you survived.
Why do you think you are still surviving amidst droughts and famine,
having more than enough when there
is not enough to go round.
Didn't you see the handwork of the Almighty scattered lavishly around because of you.
Angels are busy working on your behalf.
Their presence is effectively changing situations for you.
Because of you the others are safe.
Be grateful for what you have received.
You are the chosen.

Now that we are here,
what can we do to reclaim
our lives and sanity back.
Our psych has been so messed up
lately and it's been a drag on the
mental state of everyone.
People are sick and tired of being
sick and tired of all this happening.
Hopelessness and helplessness
is deeply engraved in the
heart of the people.
They seem to grapple in the day as if
it's really dark.
Hungry when there is so much to eat,
living daily from hand to mouth.
Worked so hard with little to show for it.
Men have abdicated their throne in the family,
rights and efforts abandoned,
neglecting everything important to survive.
Children are left on their own without support
and supervision by their parents or wards,
abused and molested for a crumb of bread,
young girls ***** and impregnated by the very ones that supposed to protect them.
Is this a curse or a jinx by the god's?
Atrocities have become the norm of the day.
Everyone on there own.
Survival of the fittest is the daily practice.
Abomination of the desolate is really here.
Upside down is everything turning into,
and we all will eventually fall down.
Things I'm afraid is falling apart and I'm fully convinced that we are heading to our doom.

Someone is hunting,
not animals but humans.
Creeping in the night,
hunting down humans,
beheading babies and children,
women are not left out,
the pregnant ones cut open
and the unborn babies hacked to
death in a gruesome manner,
the men killed and hung like pigs
in the butchers stall.
Using humans as targets
to learn how to shoot.
They preferred the
cows to humans.
Cattle were killed
when a human died,
now humans are killed
when a cow dies.
Even when the cow is lost,
it is the human that will die
to compensate and pay for the loss.
What a sad turn of events,
it is really a shame to see how
degrading their mind has become.
Attitude is everything,
their mindset must be reset.
Their mentality must be upgraded,
and reconfigured for they are
really mentally poisoned.
Who can save us from this raging calamity.

Twisted,
That is the impression
my mind conceived of you.
The image I perceived
when I heard the words
from your mouth.
I have listened to your utterance
and I'm convinced you pitched
your tent with the devil.
You opened your mouth,
words came out but
they were of the evil one.
How did you even get there,
as a ruler of the people,
it beats my imagination.
You forced yourself in,
but you have no idea how to
handle affairs of the people.
There is no good in evil
for you are twisted in all
your dealings.
You **** the blood of your people,
as a modern vampire.
Blood is everywhere you stepped into.
You are really twisted because
you are jinxed.
Fear and blood is in the air.
The people are bleeding,
famished and sickly.
Nothing is left,
and nothing is right.
You ordered death for your people,
they drink suffering as water,
ethnic cleansing is like
sour wine offered to the people.
You are really twisted for sure.

The bird wants to hatch
the all entire eggs in the nest,
but through the stay in one
place the entire season,
unknown forces sets in.
Only in one egg emerged the
wimpy wholly baby bird.
How can that be since the only heir
to the nest is not promising.
Longevity is farfetched,
but the mother bird really doesn't care.
Determined she became empowered to produce an heir,
she vows to nurture her baby back to life.
Love played a role in the baby's survival.
What will you do to reclaim your own
life in a situation like that.
Can you tell yourself to hold on to that
treasure a little longer.
Don't discard the truth even if it's so bitter. However uncomfortable it is,
remember about this one thing,
life is very precious and cannot be replaced.
Put value in everything you do no matter how small and insignificant it is.
In reaching out to the uncommon,
you earn and win the greatest asset there is.
There is no man who doesn't need an heir.
A King does not sit on the throne and leave it empty without a form of replacement.
It is forbidden by nature to make any place desolate.
It must be inhabited and populated by the people or forest.
Only nature on its own can destruct a place and make it inhabitable.
But to warn ahead of time it must before it strikes.
It may not be sudden but to give time it must.
Do not play into the hand not sublime and divine in nature.
For the divine arrangement must take preeminent.

At this hour of unbearable
and unbelievable unimaginable
heartrending shocking presence
of cruelty going on in our communities.
It looks as if the heaven shut it's doors,
people ***** and dabble in darkness.
Wickedness is competing with brutality.
Seems like the heart of man no longer
knows what it feels like to temper
justice with mercy.
Atrocities are the order of the day.
No day passes by without a form of intimidating and gruesome issues rearing itself amongst the people.
Blood flows like the rivers and no one seems to care.
Children wailing on the streets looking for their mothers and relatives scattered out in the desert and the bushes hiding from their predators.
Not as if they don't know what to do but
their hearts are hardened by greediness.
Conflict of interests with confusion presents itself in resolution of the matter.
Killing of women and children very disturbing,
beheading the men and burning down houses
are ongoing in different places,
and very gruesome.
One wonders if heaven has turned it's back against the people.
Evil concupiscence overtakes the people.
Where is your God they seem to ask.
Is there no way of escape from these killers?
Remember your promise oh God,
Save your children from these calamities.
Stop these acts of wickedness,
bring succour and joy to your people.

The mayhem unleashed by the Fulani herdsmen invading the communities in Nigeria is worrisome. Bloodbath everyday.
The unnecessary killings need to stop.
