Hope in a time of ebola

Ebola comes to a nation,

ruled by #poverty , #ignorance , #corruption ,

and there is more;

#tribalism , #unpatriotism, #greed.

These are the reasons why,

Ebola may succeed.

I close my eyes to pray,

yet all I see are people dying,

What is happening?

The doctors and the nurses

the ones giving

all the caring

and #sensitising ,

God rest their selfless souls

but with them gone

Ebola may have won

Down my cheeks tears roll,

as I see a child of four in pain,

the mother dead,the two will soon meet again.

Oh #SierraLeone , ebola has left its dirty,dirty stain.

Education on a stand still,

#vaccine has not been found still,

People don't know their next step

as the nation tumbles down hill.

Ebola will end,yes it definitely will.

But first we must unite as a nation

Throw away the tribalism

Love our country,increase our #patriotism.

Lying - thieving politicians,

put the country first,

use the money

the #world sends in.

Life is but one chance

Sierra Leoneans, kill the ignorance,

Learn #hygiene .

Ebola is real.

#Contagious ,

a bleeder,

Killer headaches and fever,

Ebola is real.

But together, #united against Ebola,

there is hope still.
