Our Fatherland� by Honchogirly2k: 12:50pm On Mar 17, 2018 |
OUR FATHERLAND Nigeria, Sailed by captains of corruption The erstwhile giant of Africa Sinks into the oceans of dilemma The home of global warming We await good electricity Like the second coming of our Lord We work like elephants Feed like ants We sing "peace and unity" With voices that preach discord We cry "let justice reign" In the haven of injustice Cows gallivant in paradise Masses sleep in gutters Nomads, reputable butchers The CEOs of the greatest abattoir That shreds human flesh Our youngsters We called "Leaders of tomorrow" Now,the big shots of " wire-wire" Merchants of hoky-poky Here lies unrealized dreams Thrown into garbage cans Then we sit and watch our ancestors rule from above The malicious fathers of "hate speech" Parade themselves as saints Their big bellies filled with mischief My countrymen We watch our country Like a reality show Rise up from your slumber Float our beloved fatherland once again PRESHIE♏a.k.a honchogirly� 3 Likes 1 Share |
