This poem is dedicated to Mr Femi Adesina. I respect you, sir.



THE WAILING WAILERS

The wailing wailers are not those who seek good governance,
Who prod the sleeping watchmen
As the enemies march through the gates,
Causing a harvest of sorrow and anguish...


Those who lend their voices to the oppressed,
Who try to point out the looming iceberg
To the gallivanting captains,
Are not the wailing wailers.


The wailing wailers are the denizens of the North-East,
Whose days often break with hope
But ends, quickly, with blasts of death and wails of abandonment.


They shall wail some more, the wailing wailers,
If the gallivanting continues...


But in the fullness of time, if the watchman tarries,
These wailings shall torment our ears
And we may all likewise wail.

I AM A WAILING WAILER
I stand in front of the broken and torn down walls of justice,
I hold onto the pillars of equity and scream against bare faced inequity, being daily dished out to my fellow countrymen,
I raise my voice to the Righteous One and wail against the evil from that horn of evil,
The tears and blood I shed for this nation drop to the floor as sign to the stubborn,
That the evil they propagate, it will surely rebound and bite their conscience,
The sky darkens as the heavens shield their eyes to the lies and manipulations of the false accusers,
Lightning burns across the sky as the heavens shed tears for the ignorant ones,
Fooled to believe a lie and proudly call it the truth,
For years the same hands that tilled the land,
Hid behind the humility of time,
Came face to face with falsehood,
Weary and beaten,
Shamed and disgraced
Conned by the sweet lies from the deepest part of the belly of evil,
Tongue twisters and nay sayers,
Who never say a thing and hold on to it,
Rather change their words and statements of accusation,
As long as the words fuel their hate,

I am a wailing wailer,
I will wail and continue to wail,
I will wail with my pen,
I will wail with my voice,
I will wail the words of The constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria at them,
I will wail simple logic and truth at them,
I will wail against unfairness and injustice,
I will wail against impatience due to hatred only to be asked to be patient due to association,
I am and I will wail,
Because I am a wailing wailer
