Lost peace in Rivers state

Lost peace in Rivers state

A Poem by Crosby Idasa
"

People fighting for unlawful power, they keep killing one another just for such power, it pays them but lives are lost

"
How we live in the Garden city now is just so fearful and painful

Some people in some places are not seen outside their buildings after it gets to 7:37pm

Because of the fear of sudden death.

Cultism and criminality are the order of the day for some youths

You go out, you might be hit by stray bullet when those thugs are shooting

They keep fighting for power that will fade out in little time, fake power gotten from unlawful use of arms

The government keep giving them amnesty but it turns out to be in vain, they will stay calm for awhile and they will come back in brutal style

Today you hear; three people were killed in Choba, Oh they just killed another seven at Ahoada, youths killing themselves. Tomorrow you hear about how a village have been made empty because of this evil minded youths!

Even kidnapping is like a business now for them, they live with no fear anymore because they have some African spiritual dark powers on their body and head!

Their Parents cry because the money those cruel youths make is blood money... Lives were taken for their pay

Everybody is now extra careful, nobody wants to lose their lives because of this evil minded youths.

Rivers state is flooded by unlawful killings, I think it should be labeled Blood state now!

In a world control by the gun. The poor, the children pay for the sins of hate. We live in a scary world. Powerful and honest words shared my friend.

You are welcome Crosby. I pray daily we learn. Every life had value.
A very scary picture in this one. Almost has the sound of anarchy. Of course, in the US, one can be blown away by any crazy who has the coins to buy an AR-15. It is a violent world.
