Who Will Save Our Home ? By Chioma Ikebuaku by IzunnaOkafor(m): 12:07am On Aug 10, 2019 |
I heard the cries of a wailing woman Distressed and bleeds on She sobs for her children For her children deserted her to sink I heard the cries of an afflicted mother Who soberly chants a tragic song Save our home she cries For we are one United with blood And sweat of the old For she seeks for leaders But found killers In the form of rulers Who ruled us out of our land Squandered our resources And let us sob in want When we heard their voices Clamouring to our heart We listened to their pitiful request Of empty promises We hoped for a change But are ever hooked in chains They wore masks As angels they presented themselves And we hacknyed to their cries And so they won And we lost She was once nations pride Giant of Africa Nature's beauty call Embellished with human and natural resources She never lacked Yet she sobs for want Yearns for food and security Clamours for peace For the sought after her life With resentful grit She bleeds Save our home she cries She has turned to mockery Her arms bleeds for unity She struggles for love Yet none she found Her works of thousand years were lost Destroyed in a twinkle Save our home she cries She is the cradle of weakenings Enriched with slothful criminals Filled with rotten golds Dried of paramount minerals She is now a zone of war Harvest of green blood Place where morals are lost Abode of innocent criminals Now, a tournament of corruption Who will save our home? Her children dreadful of insecurity In want of food and gold Beggars of tomorrow Her leaders have dealt with her With their empty promises Who will save our motherland? Who will redeem our lost pride? Who will restore our peace? Who will save our home?
