Poem
Which way leads to the land of green white green? Which way are we heading? A country the wicked bears the rulership, and the people sighing continuously. A terrible thing sprouts beneath the sun: a pregnant woman delivering not. Imps come to lime-light by snuffing air from the goose that laid the golden eggs. The blind guiding the un blind. The weak suppressing the strong-a terrible thing. Like the overthrow of the gods at Mt. Olympus by the Titans. A country where also thieves appear as men of integrity. Land of green white green,which way? A land where the enlightened ones are overshadowed and peanuts given to them. The masses are dogs that eat the crumbs. Which way to go you Land? Iliterates stand on podium of power bellowing orders as milk of sorrow known as dividends of democracy is passed around. The machine of progress manned by the unproductive. "There is better tomorrow" we hear. Land of green white green,my country where rule of law walk beside anarchy. The proles are sentenced to adversity,and there endured death-like trials. Chai! Aru! People dancing on thorns whimpering as they throng along. I see a new sun rising from the horizon,hope is rekindled as its rays grace on hopeless bodies. Look!! there soon be change! Note: This is poem full of Nigeria political angst.
