THE LAND. A Poem About Nigeria by ifiokjohn(m): 9:12am On Dec 23, 2019 |
Hello Guys, So during the Week, I had this Inspiration to write this Poem. I ain't an English Student so there might be mistakes Here and there but I will be happy to take Corrections. The Events that taken place in Nigeria made Me sit and write this SO HERE GOES SOMETHING! THE LAND The Land is like a Roaring Lion Eating it's Young The Land is like a Raging Sea drowning it's Inhabitants people go, people come all I see is a gloomy look The Future seems blurred The prophets can't predict The Eagles eat up the Youngs of the Hen (The People) Hope seems Faraway Not even the Tallest could see or the Longest could Grasp The Pulse of the Nation is at it's Weakest the people fear and leave everything to GOD The leaders Rule with Iron fist Even the Wise are confused The Land is like a Barren Farmland ( No rainfall) it's Fruits cutoff and only enjoyed by it's leaders while the Poor stand and look. "The 8th day Creation, The Military, Matches on trampling upon the rights of the people". The Last hope of the Common Man is Compromise bought by the very Purse that house's the people's Wealth The Constitution is set aside, seems like the Military rules. All I see is tears and more tears No Respite insight "Nigeria is off the Cliff not even the Longest can save it." And that is it. I know there are a lot of mistakes there but I will be happy if Someone can correct my mistakes and Grammatical errors if Any. Mods Please put This on Front-page I will like to see your Thoughts about it |
