Jul 2020
We desecrated our altars
Violated our bodies and soul
And sought atonement with  accursed tongues

****** has became a norm
As paedophiles and rapists throng our streets
And then our gods kept mute, silent

We turned our land to ***** and Gomorrah
Are there not ten worthy in our universe?
That YOU may stop this plague? My Lord?

We are sorry, sober and repentant
Therefore, we invoke 2 Chronicles, Chapter 7 verse 14
Please, heal our land of this plague of Covid 19

Today, our mouths has been gagged by a mask
What a way to humble our pride and irreverence
What a way to bow and return to Your Majesty
