An Ode To Nigeria by newera(f): 3:41pm On Oct 24, 2006 |
This is a poem i was insipired to write just before the opening chapter of my latest book - The Aireginan Dream AIREGIN The Land flowing with milk and honey The people lacking in health and money A strange land with leaking borders A hapless people in great disorder How is it that … Abundant rain falls and yet the plant withers? Extensive sun shines and yet the child shivers? An oddity indeed, but not in Airegin To come alive again, where do we begin? Can we all drink the milk and eat the honey? Can our fields still bloom and our children look lovely? Yes! But first, we must dare to dream Because all creation and all invention Every reformation and regeneration Began in the mind and the imagination When someone, somewhere, dared to dream |
