Our Motherland by Bamibor: 7:35pm On Apr 10, 2015 |
Nigeria our motherland you are And we have waited to be nourished Importunate To feed off your fat But now We weary to call you ma With our past and present well famished Alas you’ve broken many a heart Dare I say as a mother you failed Perhaps It’s the children who strayed Nigeria our motherland we say Then I thought Who mothered our mother Who raised her and taught her to nurture Was she groomed Has she grown Has she Nay Now for our woes Whom do we finger With whom lies the hope for the future I dare say we must now cease to rant And stop the search for gold while we plant Nigeria our motherland will yet be But we now Cannot be her children Today we’ll work with strong arms and brains It may be too soon for you and me To see the chicks from the mother hen For our toils We may have little gains But our eyes Must be for the ones she’ll nurse When our motherland has fed from us ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ dear pen fellows, I have been inactive here for sometime but I hope to be fully back soon. I have really missed reading the great pieces from this forum. Please do go through the post above and drop your reviews
