LOVE AND HATE



Dedicated to the victims of Benue State Killing by the Fulani Herdsmen in Nigeria




We underestimated the power of hate
See how much sorrow it brings to our gate
Every single day is another death
Our sons and daughters murdered by gunshot

Only God knows the depth of our hate
Religion is taken for a bait
Around me adversaries have gathered
They tried to take my life, but it's too late

I wondered if the lord can take the pain out
If He will ever forgive us of this insanity
How can we our grievance be buried
When a little child is afraid to sleep

If you are not careful, you maybe next
Do not let them Fool you, that it is alright
Everyone is a victim, for the society is lost
Our leaders have gone mad

With tears in my heart
I prayed for love to be shared
Here and now, so we can be one indeed
For there to be peace, love is all we need
