Poem Title:
Poem
Yesterday we were happy and free as a bird, Today with nostagia,we bite our thumb, Tomorrow we burn midnight oil in tomorrow's aspiration. Today we give the new veil to a pig, Tomorrow with bitterness,regret the filthiness. Today we fashion out plans for unripe pawpaw to ripe for the puppy; Tomorrow we complain of its mess in the room. Today we mend water-trough to water grazing fields for the cattle; Tomorrow we boast of burning the fields for dwelling homes. Today we spent ourselves to feed the cat, Tomorrow the cat lives in the bush to eat our fowls. Today we cherish our dog,our bones on its neck, Tomorrow it eats the bones even our foods. Today we accept penny and offer ourselves with pride, Tomorrow we spend pounds with agony. Today we labour and tax to welcome the king; Tomorrow we plant thorns on his parts upon return. Today we make a prisoner a priest, Tomorrow we wait for the waist-breaking rhythm. Today we glorify a tout as the godfather, Tomorrow we complain of bad company. After all these,fellow Nigerians, When shall we think before we leap?
