The revolution should wait,
We are yet to invite him
Too busy are we
With ethnic bickerings.

The revolution cannot come.
Till we are done
Sucking our mother's tongue
And see ourselves as one

He stands on the hill,
Overlooking the gate of the city
With a message for us
But we attend to domestic chores

The last time he came,
The poet lied.
So did the preacher and the teacher
But our fathers? They ran

He could not speak to us,
Our fear served many masters
But he beckoned.
Like roasted yam in palm oil

He was caught and maimed
Executed after jailed
In a bid to delay judgment
........ Our judgment.

Days are fast coming.
Like a comet falling
When tribe would be less secure
And trinkets of religion gone.

Let the revolution wait.
Let's fill our plates.
The baptist is not here.
Why worry about the messiah?
