Death
Fasonu Adams 2008 (Lagos)
Oh death, the tone of your voice makes me tremble
You took away our loved ones
Whom we loved dearly
You makes me afraid of you
Oh death!
People cry in pain because of you,
Still , you instill the fear in them,
And cause them to tremble at your voice
Your shadow shouts a nigtmare scream
Oh death!
Breaking around and causing havoc
Your cause is the perception of storms
You ravage people's life and destroy them
Oh death!
Young and aged fears you
They never wanted to come near you
Because you are not merciful and kind
Monsters that devours!
Oh death!
