If Only They Had Listened

If only they had listened Things would not have get out of hands as it is now but they were selfish Wanting so much for themselves The masses are left behind. If only they had listened to the Voice of Chinue Achebe We could have Been smiling now. If only they had listened to the voice Of Gani Fawehinm, all the boors could Have rot in the Jail Freedom would be restore in our father land. If only they had listened to cry of Ben Okri When he write melodiously for peace Nigeria could have been a better place. If only they could think and reason just like Wole Soyinka The sky won't be our limit Rather We climb and fly higher than the eagle With wings so large and beautifully made From above for us all. if only they had followed the footsteps of Nelson Mandela We would be free from sickness and hunger Which had circulated in the air through their feces. If only they had listened to Sir Ken saro, The black oil would have been for the beggars The south south would not be damaged by oil. If only they had hope and dream of a better Nigeria they could have achieved it. If only they had, if only they had listened Nigeria could have been a home for all.
