Analysis of A Call for Redemption
Zealous Frank 2000 (Nigeria)
Call the fire fighters
For there is fire on the roof of reality
Call the love menders
For there is war in this beautiful fantasy
Call the life savers
For death and it entourage are having a rampage
Call the philosophers
For rationality is a tad left behind
Call the wise men
For foolishness is king over the earth
Call the missionaries
For religion is going on the wrong journey
Call the youth
For this epoch is failing in honesty and truth
Call the leaders
For their followers are constantly misled
Call the unjust
For it's just a matter of time
Call the prayer warriors
For there is need for action to save this world.
