TEARS FOR NIGERIA....
Oh! Great Nigeria, why hast thou drunken the blood of the unborn in the pregnancy of the starving mother?
Why hast thou become a mocker to those who sang your praise?
Why hast thou forgotten the tears and pains of those who perished to bear thy pain?
How early did you forget the eye that watched you up?
The mouth that spoke you up
The weary skinny hands that bore you through the incorruptible judges that sought your freedom.
You have taken the cup from the mouth of the rejoicing to the mouth of the drunkard
You have denied the poor of their bargain and the rich you have granted treasures
You have taken the little of the needy and increased the octet turgid pockets of the rich.
You have cut short the vision of the young and sat the old in the future
On the horse back you claim to ride but your inhabitants crawl on their tongues
You fill the earth with stale fairy tales, as you promised the undone
O! Nigeria where is the glory of the blood to the vision we hoped for, where where.... but silence i will still get... what a painful sting on the tongues of many who believed in your pathetic lies....
