Then, Now And The Future ( Nigeria ) ---- A Poem by FoxyUltimate(m): 1:38pm On Mar 25, 2013
Wait o why all this dey happen
If you smile wahala dey for you
If you cry nobody go pity you
When you laugh na im worst pass
Time no dey heal wounds again
Na only to point out more injuries to us

When Nigeria came we celebrated
The would watched us elated
Finally we are a nation to contend with
Though we had nothing to show for it
Our hope were lighted by our zeal
Independence had come to us for real

Greed for power broke us once
From coup to war we bounced
Even the dead had cases to answer
Why visit God in such manner
Dying when the nation remained young
And the light of freedom still burned

Tie a cord round about them
Provide them different garments helm
Show them the perceived way
Let religious view be the master of the day
The paupers will definitely fade away
How and when will come that day

Nigeria my beloveth nation
Guarded with jealousy and passion
Where art thou now on the map
When the world came back from ITS nap
Scattered and shredded in all corners
Divided solely among newcomers

We don pray for day and for night
Make we love even though we fight
Make religion no oppress us again
Make sentiment no add to our pain
We get hope this time for straw
Na to go back board go draw

Nice work. But don't you think you should focus more on finishing up the threads you abandoned.

The same thing you say over and over again. Create time and finish those threads and stop giving flimsy excuses.
