My Country

My country is under a siege That's why I write a dirge My country is falling apart 'cause her leaders have taken the wrong path The land is full of greed Remember, That's not what we agreed Masses continually wallow in pain Yet our cries is often in vain Nigeria is another old today Then it's falling away The youths they refused to give the way The old have refused to call it a day While they have ship in the deep And , masses continually killed like sheep Corruption, nepotism, there watch words Neglected, the constitution as their watch dog Which has been known to the world Nigeria, The sleeping Giant With Great lands of hope Lush vegetation by nature provided Where diverse icons of Erudite are awarded In the past we uttered corrupt masters In the present we call , kleptomaniac in their fingers Nigerians, independence we cried out for Unity In diverse they preach In the inns we hope to reach As they've democratically persuaded to teach We had the freedom to be free But has been more strong weaker Nigeria my country is about to fall That's why I am making a call.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts of "patriotic cry" through your unique poetic style. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Soon, all governments of earth will fall to the warrior king Jesus. Then, finally, Africa and the world will have peace, my friend

Yeah, i think that could be the aftermath of all the African leaders.I realized, some of them are not sympathetic about the suffering of the Masses.
