Ida Obolo Poem by Matthias Pantaleon

Ida Obolo



See what we have done to earth
Can't you hear the widows scream
See what greed have done to men
Can't you see the mutilated corpses

What have we done to mother earth
I see the rivers overflow with toxic waste
What have we done to the creed we pledge
I see dead bodies decay in the farmlands

Who will account for the Odi massacre
How many more lives will lay waste in the creeks
Who will account for the genocide in Jos
How many more death before Armageddon reign

Where is Mudiaga, tell him to light me a touch
I cannot see from here, not with all the crouch
