One Thousand Naira

One thousand naira For one thousand dreams One thousand hopes Punctured by one thousand spears For one thousand naira One thousand faces Queued up in one thousand war-ds For one thousand reasons One thousand holes grace our thatch-full thatches Where endless rain and peeping sun cuddle our tattered mats One thousands holes rest upon our busy roads Where we trade and death raids One thousand naira For another thousand pains? Or One thousand changes? They've paid We've bought
