While We Warred by Crazeepoet(m): 4:21am On Apr 01, 2018 |
Blood prints of millions Smiling On the walls Tear flows of the orphaned and widowed Watching life ripped from friends and fiends while we warred hearts broken by bullets and souls condemned by daggers from the devils stab, that drain sanity from our being but while we warred these things did not stop us from dreaming about the place we should be so we held arms on one hand and our dreams on the other arms for our lives then dreams for our hopes And we journey with an unknown hope That life will not sink us totally If we keep moving towards the light That will shine on us one day That war will not tear us down If we embrace ourselves And forgive our trespasses Where our souls hurt from grudges For while we warred We plunder out hearts And the soul of country Nigeria! We have meandered through hard times And why do we estranged us? Sons turn servants we watch with no clue that tomorrow has been petrified before it is hatched our thoughts in a rowdy crescendo of noise Applauding our mass confusion. Green white Green that was the dream but now we barely see Because the dreams suffocate withering under our watchful gaze now we like tame demons domestic monsters aimlessly wandering hoping to escape the doom brewed in our factories . The light dims From a distant it no more beams and the call for change now looking more like whispers and am scripting on thorn scrolls and on the punctured hearts of our demise heroes who'd gained independence from this theater of shame but how can we find respite on the tomb of our ancestors when they squeak and squeal at the stench of our attrocities this odious of they and we our souls weary tired of countless romance with nightmares and ceaseless apparition of promises that vanish before fruitition and the joys of independence more seemingly a transient delusion We are soaked in confusion But we will feast on in style And add sweetness to this bitter sourness Till this bleak wars give way to peace And this hope breeds in our soul That you will hold my hands Without a frown Not on compulsion I will take your hands And walk behind the lines of enmity That has long besieged us And a handshake will no more betray us Blood will no more flow from our pipes Corpses will no more be stored up in our barns And bombs will no more blow our hopes In shatters and batters our dreams shall not fade before our eyes Because my dream and yours Shall be fused like siamese Inseparable! And our ambitions shall be incurable Till the day we have painted in green and whites The true colours of Nigeria By; Idorenyin Matthew |
