We Are Praying! Poem by Kolawole Emmanuel

WE'RE PRAYING

From Iran we hear a different story,
'And the west come in another lorry'
Still from Isreal a different matter,
'Confusions keep on to hover'

Down to the wealthy country Nigeria!
There legion of innocent are crying,
'Peaceful time for now is over'
There an infant lay down weeping,

Moving down to the country Ghana,
There you will see the real suffering,
Talk more of countries like Liberia,
'Where woe falls like heavy rain'

When shall we wake up some day,
'And see a brighter sun so gay'
When shall we stop all this crying,
'Heavenly God we are praying'
