The Nigeria We Deserve 4

THE NIGERIA WE DESERVE 4 Smelling streets is not what we all deserve We deserve a tomorrowland, a future hope Where the black nakedness of the children is gone Thunder ceased to insert fears in us We deserve a better Nigeria, a fascinating home Where morals are the hospitality of our souls We deserve a spirited masses with one heart Not a division of heart which welcomes evil The street that welcomes the right of the masses We deserve masses who depend not on the Governement for employment, shelter, food and clothes, we need masses that will be men of their Own. We deserve a welcoming home for the theatre The entertaining home of the worldpower We deserve a country where the custome and tradition abide forever, although the western culture is good but it had made us to abandon the spirit of Our old tradition that never allow women to go naked In the street nor allow the men to plait their hair. This is not what we deserve in our country Is it our fate to die one after the other through Booku Haarm? My eyes has seen many perished with no course The streets crowded with blood of the innocents Yet we seems not to see any solution to that We deserve a better country, we deserve good Nigeria, We don't deserve a country where people wash their Hands with blood
