Nigeria, May I Know When? by Nobody: 11:27pm On Sep 30, 2015
Nigeria,
You are destined to be great.
Yes! The beauties you're made-of suggest.
but when?
When's your ripe-aged meant to behold?
Time's not by the sides of your children;
Life beyond albeit old age take over 'em in no time.
Hitherto, everyone in endless eagerness,
To have a taste from your vineyard.
With withered faith, 'your best time is near', they say.
Yea! Being Conceived but still hang in the balance.
Brewing patriots wallowing in feasibility of the virility - of 'the moment';
And the first generation'ers with feign faith
Advocate better life for the yet-to-be-born beauties.
They'll ask 'When are you destined to be delivered, Nigeria?'

Nigeria
Your true children are suffering from the moment inbalance.
Come, and come to their rescue.
The abject living has made each other contemptious;
Day by day, your children prey on one another.
Come, come and give hope to vulnerable ones;
The privileged are pretentious;
Came with pseudo strength,
Promising emancipation from adversity,
Lo! The effort is pre-defined to prey on commoners once more.
And now openly we behold; They're pretentious!

Nigeria
If ever you are made of any gold,
This's the time to shine;
If ever you're knight of repute,
Your children want to see you waggling your sword in their interest.
Safe your owns from the people in white germent;
Darkness had beclouded their hearts.
None seems to have wherewither; None but You!
If you ever sent 'Transformation' angels;
If you ever sent 'Change' angels;
Change 'em all!
They're wolfs in sheep skin.
They appear more devilish than being Angelic.
They contruct to destroy you;
They do more harm and no good!
