Nmaju Emeka: What Went Wrong?!

The fields are all wild but the labourers are few.
Helter skelter have the sheep gone since the shepherds had fallen asleep.
The buttocks has brought shame to the face since the mouth that eats is so committed.
The mother has forced her children to suck wounds, preserving breast for her concubine.
How sudden has this peaceful and lovely house turn to a house of horror.

She cried her eyes out when she realized that her father's promise is like water poured on a rock
Her pillow is now soaked in tears on realizing that her brothers love for her has waxed cold.
Could this be that her fate now lies in the hands of the enemy,
Now she is bound to take a drastic decision even though her bleeding heart is gripped with fear of the unknown.

Sometimes it pains so much to bear,
Sometimes it rains so much to care,
Sometimes she wishes her brother can look into her eyes and tell her WHAT WENT WRONG!
What crime she has committed.
Could this be a movie or a reality show?
All this actions, are they in the script...?
All this actions are they for a purpose?
Sometimes she wishes her brother will look into her eyes and tell her the future that comes from destructions.

Yesterday it was boys, today its girls,
Yesterday it was the church, today it's the mosque,
Yesterday it was the streets, today its the park,
Yesterday it were the homes, today its the schools,
Yesterday it was the offices, today its the market place...

Yes it is written in the scriptures that "...Kingdoms shall rise against Kingdoms, ...and because of the increase of wickedness, the love of many will grow cold."
But why...why have you chosen to be the victim of this prophesy?
"This land is ours to plough and not to plunder".

Remember GOD is never mocked
Whatsoever a man sows, that he reaps
Ask Judas.
Dear brother, to err is human, to forgive is Divine.
