Our Children Don't Deserve The Suffering! (poem) by UpliftingWordz: 12:13am On Aug 04, 2016 |
INNOCENT CHILDREN DON'T DESERVE THIS! (In honour of starving Nigerian kids) ~ by Hilz Voice These starving kids never asked to be born Each second lived they've been made to pay Sins of their forefathers they never partook Still the failed system's forced them to pay How do I look these hungry kids in the eye Who'll wipe each other's teary eye Nigeria had enough to meet all their needs But squandered all to feed men's greed Soon I'd be a father and proud Would I shift blames like my "fathers" all proud Would I be honest to tell my child the truth That the nation's failed cause of our own greed What's the prize for being Nigerian Is it being "labelled" or rejected by media Politicians we very much thought could lead us Were much much blind to their own visions Where does this leave the one nation Many've clamoured "split the damn nation" But how's a split ever the solution When factions would be led by soiled hands; Same hands who aided to wreck the nation. In who is lasting solution; the leaders or the followers Where does change begin; our hearts or their bellies Would Nigeria's history be rewritten; in ink or in blood None of these sufferings innocent kids deserve at all ........
