Nigeria: Still Not Uhuru! By Femi Olabisi by Phemmyolas(m): 11:07pm On Nov 30, 2012 |
When we were in panties And when gullibility marked our heyday We sang of heroes past Of heroic sons and daughters Yesterday was pillared on hope Hope of a better tomorrow But that which we hoped for Of that which our hope tethered Vaporized Leadership tragedy assassinated All that we which hoped for Nigeria! Whose pocket was hitherto filled to brim With so much in kitty Degenerated into a pauper state Because of prodigal sons and daughters Our hope was only a hope Our dream remains a dream Yesterday we sang of heroes Today it sans heroes Lootocratic executives are just to steal Kleptomanic judiciary is blind to justice Legislatures just to fill their kitty All to steal without pity Tomorrow is bleak and dark For a nation so blest with looters The hope remain is ‘us’ The spring of ‘Arab Spring’ is what we need © Femi Olabisi (November 2012) @Femiolas |
