Pastors don't want sheep no more They want some ass, young kids Jesus' manger, little angels That boy will know innocence no more The church has left Jesus hanging, The mosque has left Mohammed stranded, The gods of the land survive on ignorance, Conscience shall live no more. Independent of conscience, the mind roams wild Like an animal, every pleasure must be fulfilled, Every wine drunk, every cash spent We shall spray the money, until it lasts no more. Where God dies, the temples become larger, Bigger, greater, the men of God prosper As evil rises, they point to God Pray, pray ,pray, till you see your enemies no more. Independence? Colonized by the British, americanized by TV Rice from Chinese farmers, tech from ogbodo oyigbo, Would we survive, if the rest of the earth were no more? 17 Likes 6 Shares |

Nigeria- Independence yet still "IN Dependence"  Beautiful piece. I hope the mods find it worthy of the front Page instead of silly news like " Independence Day: Curvy Lady Rocks Nude Body Painting Of Davido & Burna Boy's Faces". 2 Likes 1 Share |

The church has left Jesus hanging, The mosque has left Mohammed stranded, The gods of the land survive on ignorance, Conscience shall live no more. Nonsense |

isn't it funny that the op deemed it fit not to ascribe any blame to the politicians who've ruined this country, but blames religion for all the woes of the country 2 Likes |
