A tear for terror

Reminiscing on the Paris attacks, and all acts of terror over the world especially Nigeria my country moved me to write this...old though!!!

Pow the sound of gunshots
Bomb goes off and another life is lost
Beautiful eyes forever to be shut
All for a man's greed, doesn't matter the cost

No love for other people
Throats slit damn this is evil
Yet They call it religion
But shouldn't it be our decision

Houses and properties ransacked
Hunger killing the baby on the mum's back
good health and life, ever in lack
With fear thriving and hope lost in the dark.

Peace to my father land
Tired of these killings and the red blooded sand
The earth weeps daily at the handwork of man's hand
This peace seems superficial a grail that can not be found

Terror in our territory
silent noise now audible in the cry of captivity
Planes shot down never before seen in history
Blackened hearts oh God save man from this depravity

Paris my beautiful Paris
You were a dream home for Mon cheri
A nest to nurture the love cord
But will love stand at the face of hate sword

your walls shake with 150 Bodies
Extremists killing like it's their hobby
Bataclan littered with French blood
It's time we fought back or turn our face to God.

Slave to Love!!!

Slavery of your mind Living in the illusion you called love You feel it is one of a kind Ordained from above The one thing He craved was the very thing you gave You thought it was bravery to fall in love but I knew it was slavery when He could not get enough. Of what you could give but even at your detriment, you wouldnt leave your sacrifice was insufficient so you silently grieved. He never planned to fall like this Never believed in love until it hit him hard like bricks fell for your pretty face the way your hip sways kinda superficial I told him with you there was no thing special But He wouldn't listen wore his heart on his sleave now it's gone missing but He still holds on to the mirage of you loving him but I know to you taking him sounds like a sin Girl and Boy You are a slave to Love not wanting to Let go The roads are bent and curved I should let you know As you've walked out of track, look at the mirror and let your flaws sho...
