Innocent worshippers converged at prayer time
To glorify and worship the most high
For the provision of food and every dime
Not knowing their death is at nigh
What was their crime?
You attacked the harmless
Brandishing guns as you care less
Yet they were fearless
Adhering to their belief with firmness
What was their crime?
Their lives were on the line
But still acted calm and fine
If you haven’t guzzled barrels of liquor and wine
You wouldn’t have behaved like a swine.
What was their crime?
Your hearts were rigid
Hell bent on killing
But since they were solid
You’ve done as you were willing
What was their crime?
Boom! Boom!! Boom!!!
You shot at them
Each sound represents your doom
With your ruin they walk in tandem
What was their crime?
A horrible sight not to behold
A pitiful memory we cannot hold
But we have to be firm and bold
For their reward is more than silver and gold
What was their crime?
How regretful you’ve behaved
For these are the martyrs of God
And you will never be saved
Lest you waste away like a dog
