The poem entitled "DO-GOODERS" was written by Olu Obafemi to depict the weaknesses and atrocities of religious believers. They are not the last hope of ordinary people, but the threat to people's lives. He tried to condemn the attitudes of religiousists who used their status as messengers of God to blind people and exploit them. They use their own position to tell people lies and ask them to be overly demanding; they deny their belongings and turn those poor people around [lines 14-17].
The central theme of this poem is CONDEMNATION. Olu Obafemi tries to expose what is happening in our current environment, and people walk into churches, mosques or palm ditch just to avoid escalating unemployment. When people discover these anomalies of God's people, they are often aggressive. This led to the abandonment of many churches, many mosques were destroyed and some trenches no longer exist [lines 10-13]
The poet expressed his anger or pain. He said that terror caused terror and invalidated terror. This means that when these people are caught, they must be treated without any mercy, just like a thief, associated with a bet. , catching fire [lines 18 and 19]. He stressed that mercy should not be allowed, because they have destroyed many lives; many have turned to poor creatures, their stomachs are swollen, smelling like a stinking ditch, sucking thin clothes [line 1-5].
This poem tells them in a lamentable way that the evil is on them, they cheated in the name of God, and even endless evils.
