I don't know if this is the right section for this but I write with tears for our country. OCT 1ST NIGERIA'S INDEPENDENCE {2020} What do we claim to celebrate this day ? Independence ? Or diamond 60? When we are known as a fool at 40, A fool forever. Too much shame to bear With no one ready to take the blame Would I say a great nation enslaved by the rulership of the unwise, With the poor masses left to suffer and die In the name of hunger and starvation Because no adequate provision Still the outcry of the people seems unheard and forsakened Held in bonds and shackles, Left to rot in unequal human rights Where the truth is said In fear of oppression. Battles fought in our long gone past Swords drenched in blood With a glistening utter of victory for freedom's sake, So peace in abundant shall reign But this deed, has it been forgotten yet so soon ? Has division soared its way back to our humble abode? What shall become of us this great nation in time to come? Would I find a cause for cheer? But how can I when there is none. Toddlers we have become Progress seems afar Whereas Greed and bribery has been embraced With everything crumbling, Our walls of security falling; like the walls of jehrico To serve our Fathers land which is now a basement of corruption and looting ? Oh Nigeria! Where at thou our soldiers? Do they still fight with honour and pride? Or pray so peace may abide? Do they still suffer scars of wars and say with boldness "again we shall rise"? Or just run for their lives ? The labours of our hero's past shall not be In vain, Oh my great nation I dost hope we've not strayed away ? Else I rise in compassion of what our future fate may be. Of what our Leader's of Tomorrow may say. Let love find its way But strife, despair , hate and pain opposes in it's mightiness. Oh God of creation adhere to our humble plights and please show our leaders the light Help our youths the truth to know So we grow and glow in loyalty love and honesty. To build a nation where peace and justice shall reign ©MajesticPoetess. Hope Bomate
