How We Desecrated Our Altars Poem by Raimi Babatunde

We desecrated our altars
Violated our bodies and soul
And sought atonement withaccursed tongues

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

We turned our land to Sodom 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
