Poem
I know all, Even when I was not born; My teacher told me more, On the journey of my Land First day of October, Yes! My teacher said it's 1960; Till then, We were not matured to own our land. Our nobles raised a beacon of hope, Shinning with power of justice; The white were choiceless, Only to allow us to bear our name. The kaakis came in 66, Against the bridge connecting two sides, Many bloods soaked the ground, On 'I want to lead'. 'Ali must go!" Was the raised fist of 78 As 50kobo increment of tuition fee Came to turn the sky to earth. Like a bolt of lightning, 79 came suddenly, Giving power to a pacifist, But left swiftly to martials The ho-o-o-o-ho-o of ANTI- SAP, Covered the world in 89; Our income could not save us, We were in cancer cell. We totally accepted We were in a sinking ship, When our figure was manipulated in 93, Our choice was denied The snake came with mask figure, At least we were given Democracy in 99; But later, It turned to rotten apple. Do you remember 2012 removed subsidies? It was selling #140, While now is #630. 2017 encountered EndSARS, Hence, talent were truncated, Like a story left unfinished Until it's off in 2020. Although I was a boy, When I could not identify the wrong and right; My teacher told me, Democracy upgraded corruption. My country is the best country, That's in printing new notes, See how 2023 notes Have circulated before June. I know one day, October 1st will see our pain; Its flag will fly with joy And the pledge will go with pride.
