I Wonder (Ebola Must Go)

Location

I WONDER 
 
how many deaths does it have to take before
they will lend a Helping hand
how many bodies have to be buried before
they will save our souls  
How many calls do we have to make 
before they will turn to us !
 
I WONDER 
 
How many bullets have to hit 
before they take their finger of the trigger 
and realize our country is at the edge of falling
how many graves have to be made 
before our leaders will rise and say NO MORE
how many more screams before they start calling  
 
I WONDER ! 
 
how many more years will Ebola continue to rule us 
how many more months will Ebola move from doors to doors 
how many more weeks will we continue to hide in our homes from Ebola 
How many more days do we watch our love ones get taken away by Ebola 
how many more hours will it live in us 
how many more minutes do we have to worry 
how many more seconds we have left before Ebola take us away
 
 
Everyday my people are losing their lives 
take a step back and listen to them cry 
our landing is turning dry maybe cause its not your family 
or its not your country 
 
BUT ...
 
 
I WONDER 
 
 how long do we have to hold on to our faith 
and continue to shout when we are soundless to everyone 
How long do we have to starve the young ones trying to keep them save 
How many tears drop does it  take before 
they feel our pain ! how many blood have to be shed before 
you take a look a our nation 
How long do we have to live in fear 
before you come near 
 
I WONDER 
 
Why are we still fighting when 
we are already dying 
how long will their ignorance last 
before they realize its time to come together 
 
 
 
I WONDER 
 
If Liberia , Nigeria , Sierra Leone , Guinea will ever smile again 
if our people will walk down the roads with no fear 
if our nation will rise again ! 
 
I WONDER 
 
If there will be anyone left behind before 
they send the cure 
 
I WONDER 
 
If We still have Hope for a better
