In the Kingdom Off Light

Only here nothing works. We have been searching for it For several decades we find not Our missing but all salient light How can you plunge us into total darkness In a kingdom with trillions of millions of naira? How do we explain total dusk in the day? When the world is forgetting about darkness. We weep as we hear “Kemol Yelil” The Monk of our Kingdom’s light sector Reeling out with impunity a plan for light To be obtainable and stable in 2056 Indeed 50 years time of continuous gloominess!! A Kingdom of ours with no illumination Represents doom even amidst obtrusive boom For many depends on light for existence in life Alas! Our Kingdom’s Monks mocks us As they on their light machine . . . we nap in darkness.
