Nigeriana (a Poem) by Jamieb(m): 5:01pm On Dec 25, 2013 |
NI GE RI AN A Your name scythe through our larynx wedged with clog of wheel and woes At the tabernacle of the Orient gods In droves we run for succour To flee the flaming fire of Haram Beched from the psyche of anomy N I G E R I A N A Lugarded with the seed of loathness and discord Smeared with ilk of tribal dichotomy Hailed as faithfuls in th South, Infidels in the North Indigenes in the East, strangers in the West Offsprings of Eve abroad Vipers against adders at home Standing on mount Heaven I look back to the gate of your maiden journey Vastland of odious sloughs Smouldering lawns cocooned with anthills Bereft of twillight dews N-I-G-E-R-I-A-N-A At the tabernacle of the Orient gods In droves we run for succour But, STILL WE RISE |
