When Is The Messiah Coming? Poem by Olaniyi Ololade Moses

Why do we have to sing the
ragae of sorrow,
And dance to the gbedu of
bitterness?
For this street is a hot desert-
home of dryness,
But, is there still hope for us
tomorrow?

I don't think we would smile
again,
For the land goes crazy day
by day,
The throne-dwellers have also
lose their sane,
So, who's going to write us a new
hope today?

For there's a river in our eyes that
flows with bitterness,
A haven in our hearts, that
entertains distress.
When is the messiah coming?
For the land is already burning.
