Conscienceless Society Poem by Kingsley Egbukole

Defecation in revered places
Desecration of holy orders
Conscienceless no doubt
Think God non existence
Else he that stole
From His house will think first
Or afterwards to return his loot

The stolen bible
Is no use to the burglar
Else he would have read
In the law the sin of his act
And consequences therein
And make quick restitution
And peace with the owner

The looting continues unabated
The culprit more daring and influential
The victims' cries spiral the sky
But if a man escape his cutlass welding enemy
Can he run away from his unarmed God?
