MY NATION's LEADERS

I woke up
And screamed up
I was just dropped
to the land of mortality
Yes, in the maternity

I grew up
And learnt the National song
We were told to shut up
It was more than just a song

I placed my hand on my chest
National pledge they called
The Nation's cloth and crest
Horse, Eagle and a black land

Patriotism was built
Like the tower of babel
Bricks on brick, at first
It made me marvel

Days after days
Under the morning sun
we respected our heroes
like legitmate sons

I woke up
And was told I was a Nigerian
I looked up
I was still in the same arena

Nigeria, Nigeria, Nigeria
The name was fun
Africa, Africa, Africa
My passion began to burn

Realities and priorities,
clash of interests,
negligence of neccessities
ruined the Nigeria I knew.
A new nation was birthed

Underground liquids, Uncommon residues
we were blessed with resources

Pot-bellied loafers came,
administrators they claimed,
myopic political enigmas
they came en masse
and drank our sweet liquids,
and away with our residues

We were left with nothing
to eat the drop from our table
we bore heavy burdens
we broke stones to marble
poor citizens we became

Appelation and consideration
the fruits was for their kids
the seedlings for us to plant
they and their children led

They drained our blood and
their acts drowned us like flood,
some to death others stress,
we kept quiet in distress.

They beat us,
we were tamed like horses
the reward of our labours
went away to favours

They smiled to deceive
They made long speeches
but we never saw any action
they spent without moderation

No one suffered but the nation
Nigeria, earned bad recognition
No one purnished the devorers
No, It was the nation's fault.

The nation's ruin is the leaders'
They made us loosers

Nigeria blessed by God
but cursed by her Lords!
