Boko Haram-thou art beautiful

Boko Haram-thou art beautiful

A Poem by praize
"

Watching the heartless acts and bombings of the terrosist sect, 'Boko-haram' in Nothern Nigeria on the tele just seemed to arouse conflicting feelings of anger and pity within me. So I just set my quill into action...

"
A curse thou art!
Boko Haram
Away from us
Our pain we'll nurse

See, there is God
Yes, 'God with us'
Why seek his wrath
Or his fiery rod

Thou art heartless
But he's fearless
His love is boundless
He also cares

We have a father
Who care for 'fools'
Fools who murder
Just like you!

So surrender
Run to the father
His love is greater
Than his fiery temper

Lucky you!
This is all you'll do
Say after me
Sober and sorry:

'If I stand
Or I should fall
You know me well
You see it all

My darkest nights
My deepest fear
I cry to you
And you'll hear

Boundless love
Come carry me
To the place
Where at last I'm free

Where I belong
There you'll be
Where all of you
Is all of me
LORD, I surrender to thee'

So...Congratulations
Thou art no more a fool
Thus, embrace our nation
Now thou art beautiful!
