Poem
NiGERIA AT 59 A HOME OF A FAILED MARRIAGE On this wavy Atlantic sailed a white robe With his skills in Holy book Thou bringeth thy self to rob As they used the book as bait we the fish to hook The net they filled with us the pest On which they feed with smiles Their hearts overwhelmed with greed As they took us on their wheel they sang the creed of greed. We weaived and quivered while in shiver They became weavers and achievers Basket of rich fruits they found Treasures of riches they discovered under ground Pleasure filled their honey mouth as the bee took their flight As they tested the depth of the river with both feets A mistake they made without a look in sight. Now the baskets begin to tear as the fruits rot in great delight The marriage they celebrated with unpleasant feets As in mockery they danced as they feasted in peace Alas they broke their vows as the brigades Fired their barricades Uniforms interchange uninformed As the abortion they failed Begot the painful miscarriage Presumed for yesterday. A happy man marries the woman he loves A happier man loves the woman he marries But this marriage is due for divorce The party is over and desolve Even the rivers show no love in confluence Give us the agreement of the conference The urine has been held for long So the bladder might burst What ever will be said went wrong It must be remember how they broke the trust.
