The Citizens (A poem about Nigeria) by aquarist01(m): 7:52pm On Dec 07, 2017 |
THE CITIZENS I tell You the World ain't no longer safe It like a dark place, where you'd run into so much pain The evil ones are causing havoc and that's where they get their gain The politician corrupting the youth Just to satisfy their desire and that is to loot Young Boys and girls like MUSA and AMINA can no longer afford school and even when they do; they still have no books 'cos the money meant for free education is part of their loot So much lies from our leaders, that even the lies seems to be true Corruption has been the order of the day, that even for you to be a leader, it must be your attribute! Business men like CHIDERA n CHINEDU can not do business in the North Cos even if they do, they'd still have to move Vision 2020 they talk of; but we all know that's but a fluke A better Nigeria they scream, but even the good Nigeria, they are yet to improve Recycling of old Cargos into the Confinement of power, to them; that how it should The rich still getting rich, while the poor hardly survive the day! The average work their Ass out, even at that, they're still yet to be paid The youth are jobless, so all they do is hang on social media to show their savage and unnecessary hashtags campaign While they build hundreds of houses, the less fortunate have no where to lay While they travel overseas, the rest of Us are left to face the challenges they breed Power outage for days is now like a normal thing An increase in the price of commodities, even the masses can't afford a thing Kidnapping and stealing has become a normal routine At this Junction, we Need God's help including His blessings I pray to God To Help Us, THE CITIZENS! |
