Literature To Nigerian Leaders. by Emyo(m): 12:23pm On Feb 24, 2013
Dearest in spirit.

I greet.

Give me a low sit...
give me few minutes of your precious time.
I want to tell you what i feel like...my plight.
We all know it is time for another change.
Thank God you promised just one term.
A change for better we pray for.

It is time for another twist...a positive change, it must be.
Looking back into era of our silent co-existence, you have betrayed us...used us for a fool.

Here comes another era, and you need our blessings, support and trust ones more.

Yes, we kept you there and made you lead us.
The power was with us, but we have heard you shout 'Power To The People'

Now, it is obvious you neither think nor bother of how we 'the soul feel',
am beating my chest here, you have been treating us just by matter of accidental occurrence to you.
Like a man waking up from a bad dream, you jack up and remember we exist (the masses exist).

At several interval you fail to recognize and admit that we existed.
You inflate our amenities at your discretion.

It is time for a change.
Drastic one!!.

Back in those days, we sat in this same position...round this same table discussing way forward after a blown dismiss.

But when you got thrown unto that throne, you failed to confess to those conferences that gave a lifetime body for your covering. Just like the last supper conference, you sat readily for a crown...

imagine!

A crown from us.
We made you sit at the kings seat.
At the central ready to make and implement manifestos.

The power said, was in our hands.
But the power used, was unreachable to our palms.

The beguile intelligent of your smile, happily stole away our power.

We!
Yes, listen, we here, gave it to you-
The power to lead us, unite, coordinate and pronounce our future and visions for us.

But now, your crown makers are skulled, your followers and supporters have been made skeletal and laid six-fit below the sea level.

Oh! Your own soul have been out of clothen. You the mind can die many times but the soul remains.
We have been here era to era, but you, the mind, has been buried seventy-seven times seven times.

The wealth, you are busy gathering will never and will not follow you to hell.
Your own Soul have been forsaken, rejected and neglected.
In hell, that same body we gave you, that you have been busy greasing shall bring you pains from burns.

Look, we are king makers.
The soul never dies.
We continue to seat round this table to anoint you.....,
i am telling you that in few hundred years, the Soul shall be free from this satanic governing.
Either by a stop to existence or by succession by a corner stone.

Let me put it clear to you.
The soul will in a matter of time work separately from the mind and body.
And when this time invades like a thief into this circuit, Mind will lead himself and the Soul shall lead a headway.

We the soul of this reign have been killed. Stabbed at our navel in our own bunch, for just the pleasure the body that we gave you as covering demands.
Look at your right.

Conscience sat, crying and saying
'is it right to do this...that?'

Taught is over there aching the brain and speaking loud in full energy,
'think, tink, think'

....silence and you will hear Mrs Volition supporting our quest, she is the only person that can say if you the Mind has the will or power to do or put an end to our sorrow, if the relieving resources are available.

I plead you listen to him.
I plead you let the naïve give your seat a try.

thanks man.
Our leaders have to see our relevance as citizens.
The citizens lives to eternity, but the leaders changes, they die.

Greedy politicians, fuckin up the nation, so we gotta keep our eyes spread like them asians, when they die let the ice spread to relations, I be my music so I pray I spread through the nations, voice in my head say overcome temptations, I keep from running mad but I see weird faces, if my rhymes were bullets then ull have too many patients, I can't wait for my turn cuz I aint got patience, gotta find my path like my life is in the matrix, and I shall stand strong like the rock the of ages, ages, turning on the pages of life, government got me standing on the edge of the knife, but I aint off, cus the strife is a test, and I always aim to get above the rest, cuz my country's got to be a victim of less,so we gotta work hard to turn it to the friggin best I guess.

We don't have no water, we aint got light
We sleep in the heat of dark every night
They say something's got to give but the somethings out of sight,
So I guess all we have is the will to fight
Yeah we got to fight, fight for our rIght
But not with bombs or arms, that just aint right
We have to us our voices cuz words have might
They try to raise the bar so we gotta reach the height. huh
Now let's talk about pollution
The rate of people dieing now has to cause. Some confusion
This occurs by a process called diffusion
Gas spreads to a point of lower concentration
Though its called low, its high and aint no contemplation..... ~ by Brian Freeman a 16 year old Nigerian.
