Tears For Nigeria

Oh I cry for Nigeria! Revealed sadness from Book of enlightenment Opened the dam of tears That floods away joy Oh I cry for Nigerians! Tears crying for freedom To escape d eyes And mobbed by a peppered cloth Patriot of poverty! Suffering elites! Wearing d smile of sadness Enthralled their greatness Crude oil refined to crude suffering Oh I cry for Nigeria! Jobbing unemployment Receiving salary of calamities With the roar of great quotes Taken to knowledge not wisdom Theories of revolution Recited like poetic lines Like a body with no bones Noising fake development Publicising engraved unity With immeasurable hospitality We accommodate the great Boko! Ye Hitlers of Nigeria Your ploys shall be televised Your spells shall be broken Exposing d lies under your garments Like I always say " There will come a time When the blurry would be seen The dumb would be heard And joy would coup tears To let smile reign" *Larry Beryl*
