IN THE ARMS OF “MR COVID”

     

Everyone stands equal before the cold hands of the deadly virus, no one is exempted!

After all, we are mortals swinging under the wings of Grace

Daily we beckon for the grace of “the immortal” to redeem us from being taken by its deadly touch(covid19)

It seems death got another messenger and that messenger is Covid19

Its strike is already eating our fund-generating sector(oil)

Workers are being sacked without breaching the terms and conditions of their employment

Salaries would either be cut-off or they will walk home with “no greenbacks”

They keep us down here with nothing to alleviate our sufferings

Now we exist but do not live...

The real Covid 19 is this “damn Government...”

They are deadly than Covid 19

The advanced version of Covid 19 is this damn government...

In as long their wallets are healthy, they don't care for our existence, even if we work with empty stomachs...

They push us to war, without shielding us with armor...

They are heartless weapons whooping us down on the battlefield of life...

They are demons inside decent outfits

They pledged to be faithful, loyal, and honest...

They are the opposite of their pledges

They are heartless than  Covid 19

The strike of Covid is another means for them to run home with billions

Covid did more than locking us down...

It's locking down our lives...

It's locking most of our businesses down

And our Dear Country is gradually falling into the mud of poverty

We are the church, where we go to is just “a converging center”

If we can't converge physically, let us rise and converge in spirit with a unified motive...

Let us rise and save our future from falling into ruin, in the arms of the ill-fated and heartless leaders that are busy carrying the pot of jinx...

Let us do more than staying at home

Remember; heroes are not only those that go to war...

Anyone who saves souls or destinies is a true hero...

                

        

Heroes are not about carrying big guns or weapons everywhere...

Heroes are not only those in camouflage, but a true hero is assessed in the hearts

You are one true hero if you can pray for the exit of this Covid 19

Pray to God to forestall the plans of this government...

Pray to God to let this period ends miraculously

Let's pray for our dear Country to be delivered from the evil claws of these blood-sucking and money-wasted politicians...

What next?...

This is not the time for us to dindle cos' we are already dwindling, which has caused our boat to be sinking for not giving this “a deep thinking”

This is the time for us to rise to this defeat walking slowly to “strike us back”

We should not be spell-bound or fascinated but strive hard in prayers to halt this hoovering storm before it tumbles our boat upside down

Where we could be drowned by the heavy water or end up as food inside the belly of the beast

Our dear country is sick and is being treated by heartless doctors disguised as faithful leaders

Let us rise before she exhales her last breath…   

She summons for you and me, to clasp her before she is given the last deadly blow by these life-wrecking leaders

Are you sleeping?

Let's rise to save the glorious future of “our Dear Country”

Let us rise and yearn like a tamed beast yelling for freedom

              

Let us go crazy in prayers…

                

It will get more frustrating if our hands are not raised but folded...

This is really tormenting but could go deeper if we don't pray via our voices but keep on complaining

This is already heart-piercing and could marshal to heart-wrenching if we do nothing, other than staring

If we do nothing, other than counting lives escaping...

If we do nothing than judging these beasts in traditional attires, I fear it!;

We could lose the will, the power, and the strength to fight...

We could be stabbed and struck successively from the back.

Let's equally stand with one common goal of redemption and expressly release thunders into the atmosphere through the power of our tongues

Staying home with nothing in the pocket is to stay hungry

My friend sent me a text through Airtel Free Sms;

“Oh boy, I fit get something, am losing my mind”

Another grown adult was crying on phone like a two-year-old baby

              

While we are soaking our Garri inside a bowl of water, they sat at home comfortably tearing the fried and seasoned laps of chicken inside fancy unbreakables with chilled milky drinks inside glossy cups

Gradually, we are dying but pretending or should I say we didn't get it...

               

How many souls can sleep on empty stomachs?

How many can continue to stay strong, motivated, and uncrushable with nothing inside?

We are too cold to fight while we have “Mr hunger” feeding on our souls and the light of death is blinking before our very eyes

The issue is not even about Covid 19, it is more on how we are being treated in time like this...

This timely experience is a pointer to the fact that these heartless politicians have covenanted with the devil...

We need to think fast cos we are already sinking

Our deaths, their gains; Our fight, their threats...

If we can't fight them on bare hands, we can punch their souls out of the world in prayers and supplications

We can't keep dying, let us hold hands and fight on in prayers...

Remember, those that have died are just like ”you and me”

They know and serve God as you do…

They didn't deserve to die, yet they died…

          

They had dreams as we do, they had family as we do and possibly pray to God, more than we do...

I reiterate, they never deserved to die, yet they were dropped cold into the grave...

They had gone while leaving their dreams unfulfilled on the surface of their innocent hearts

They never dreamt of the mortuary while they serve the ruler of sanctuary...

Their beautiful dreams were buried with them inside the mortuary…

😔 I  wish I could hear what some of them might be thinking while they were struggling for impossible survival in the arms of this deadly virus;

One could be thinking, I didn't want to die

Another one could be thinking of her lovely daughter, she was leaving behind...What would be her fate?

One could be thinking of his promising partner, he was leaving behind or the projects yet to be executed

Of course, we will all taste death but not when our dreams are not yet fulfilled

None wanted to die when we still have our dreams unfulfilled on the board of destiny...

In the arms of Covid 19, the chance of survival is very slim...

It strangles necks without checking our board of destinies, maybe we still have some dreams left unfulfilled...

It leaves the world cold begging for survival...

What we can do is to pray with humility and seek forgiveness and redemption of lives...

If we keep folding our arms, I fear the end of the human race...

May God help us all(Amen)
