Suddenly Suddenly a stranger invades our existence Sweeping our land with a long broom of death Turning our familar paths to scene of horror Engulfuled with fears combating a faceless monster We became prisoners in our match boxes huts and fairy tale castles Our hands chained with fear A friendly handshake became a taboo Our body became icy for hugs A trouble free act of huging became abomination for the fear of contamination Missive of doom with little ray of sunlight we hear everyday For the bug of doom is in our midst With its deadly broom Sweeping away the life savers Suddenly the river EBOLA conveys a bitter flow into our land Suddenly Vile HIV bug became lovely The messenger of doom went on August break in our Costal heritage Leaving us with sad tales Only to raise its ugly head in our oil hub Oh! Messenger of doom leave our land move to the sea to perish Vamoose in our costal city Disappear in our oil hub never to reappear Never move nearer to our center of unity Vanish from Africa Cease from the surface of the earth Our medics became sacrificial lamb Our angel of nuture met their sad ends in your hands You swept them with your long broom of death Leave our land faceless monster The abyss is your domicile not our land By Awodiya EF 30th August 2014
