DEBORAH

Jude Chukwuemeka Muoneke


Notice of absence from Jude Chukwuemeka Muoneke
I will surely get back to you when I come online.

 

The seed of Abraham
Today killed for haram
On account of blasphemy
Religion the enemy.

Humanity, before religion
We have lost sanity in region
Many mad people on the streets
Singing praises of their dastard treats.

Deborah, gruesomely murdered
What will be the fate of her mother? 
What a persecution! 
Before her execution. 

Why take laws into your hands?
By spilling her blood in the lands
A priest abducted and sacrificed 
His blood a sacrifice. 

It happened in Sokoto 
Like it was in Soweto 
She was stone-fired wotowoto 
Her body lies lotoloto. 

Chukwu Okike will fight this course 
The hands that did this, are cursed 
We are brothers through Abraham 
Why allow religion to put haram?
