Poem
THE NIGERIA WE DESERVE 3 Who could enter a dark room without breaking The holy glasses therein? Are we suppose to keep running from pillar to post? We have come of age to eat the fruits of the land Knowing the bleeding eyes are signs of suffering The eyes should be prevented from bleeding and The nose from inhaling a forbidden air filled with Poisonous ego. The dark street is not what we all deserved Bombing the souls of the innocent should stop Man madness could make man pure in the eyes Of stupidity but purity in insanity makes the righteous hearts bitter. We have seen enough of which we don't deserve The fight in the house, domestic violence, child Trafficking all are choas and the downfall of our Nation Why should we have a home and run to the forest? Can we not stop the spread of tuberculosis in the Nation? We deserve a home, a paradise home not fire Made to capture the innocent people on the street The dark night covered our believes yet We hope and dream of a better atmosphere But the more we man up, the more things fall apart Paradise lost, foolishness regained and wisdom flew away Man up" they told us in the confusion of the day Homosexuality set in, honesty escape from the church, church; a business for the idle hands School our enemy, home; a forest of shame Leadership, a forbidden tale. This is not what we deserve, we deserve promising Nigeria, We deserve the government by the people, of the people and for the people not Demo-Looters. The pregnant woman delivers in pains The still born afraid of coming to the country Our hospitals a mess, our roads cry in tears Rain of sorrow envelops our daily activities Yet they promised us of faithfulness and unity But their promises are always active before elections After election, we all begin to dance alone To our stupidity and foolishness in our own land This is not what we deserve in our country. The nigeria we deserve is of truthfulness We deserve much more thatn the first world countries Because nature endowed us with enough resources We deserve much more than what we see now.
