Prayer of the Oppressed by
Prayer of the oppressed: Let the British burn, let them burn publicly for the whole world to laugh at them let their ashes be consumed by the wild beasts of the world. The people whom we have done no harm but have done us grievous harms every turn of our efforts to liberate our souls from their murderous blood soak hands. Let the first born of every white British family perish and let their women be taken as shameless prostitutes. All over Africa the English have committed untold atrocities against peaceful and unsuspecting Africans. They have violated our women. May God of heaven deny them their place in history of mankind for they have denied my people the simple need to live in peace. Everywhere the English went they left a trail of blood. They left a trail of blood taken from innocent people. Let the blood of the innocent cry out from heavens above for revenge. The blood of Abel cried out for revenge and the heavens heard it, Cain was, for all time, cursed for spilling the blood of the innocent for a Abel was a righteous man before God Almighty. The blood of all the martyrs of the Nigerian civil war cry out for a revenge on the head of the English Nation. A nation whose evils no one can measure. God who most right will hear the groan of the weak and He will defend him from the greedy and the arrogant. How can they sleep at night knowing well, what their evil hands have done? They have robbed the treasures of Africa, they have pillaged the land of the continent, and they have scattered the brave men and women of the land. They have corrupted the people with their greed and wickedness. The evil English has divided us against our own kind. Now Africa consumes itself in ignorance, much knowledge yet much ignorance. May the God of heavens enlighten the mind and bring joy to the hearts of men and women of Africa. The English have polluted the sacred places of Africa, may the land open up and swallow them. May the seas with raging floodwaters overflow their high places. How can the people of the Isles be so evil, and at the same time be so right with God ? For they have brought life also to Africa, they brought Christ the Jesus to the people who have always been in touch with God, but have been removed from the presence of God. Let God be merciful to the cause of the weak and let God attend to the prayers of righteous in Africa. Michael O.
