Nigeria, My Country by slikyslimsly: 6:06pm On Apr 25, 2013
Nigeria,
Oh
My country
Blessing you are to a continent
To a people and generations
For you are endowed a symbol of heaven's gift
Hmmm,
What a land you are
Green is the grass
Yet little yee harvest for the animals
Like a curse
A few live in affluence
While many live in poverty,
Oh what an irony,
Like Sony,
Wish I could sing to the heavens
For my peoples suffering is too many
In a land of plenty
yet we look so empty,
Oh, what a pity,
For we live on hopes
A land of fantasy,
E – GO - BETTER”

Nigeria,
Oh,
My country
A land of drama,
Like a grammar,
So ambiguous to understand,
From the weak institutions,
To bad leadership,
Religious and ethnicity,
The tools for the elite
And to the judiciary,
Like a toothless bulldog,
Adieu to justice
For the law is for the poor
And a toy for the rich.
Hmmm,
Corruption
Ahhh!!!!!!,
What a phenomenon,
From the executives
To a child unborn,
A common language for all,
Like a word on the wall,
So tall like a flag,
What about the pledge,
For tomorrow is a threat,
And the sun rises at it set,
Like a bet,
We gamble on tomorrow,
So in my reflection is sorrow,
Cos the future is borrowed,
From the hopes of the generations,
What a Nation,.
For we are different in all,
But united in one,
Need not I mention,
CORRUPTION.


Nigeria,
Oh,
My country,
A land of possibilities,
What a potential,
For greatness await the future,
With human and natural resources,
A gift of nature
From the yester-years,
While we nurture,
We endured,
And hope seems feeding,
While we hoping,
Aging,
Like a parading shift,
From pre-independent progression,
To post-independent regression,
Hmmm,
Still I believe in tomorrow,
Hoping in another day,
For the sun will rise again,
And the flag will fly above,
In fulfillment of a purpose,
Greatness.
God Bless Naija
