Poem
Song of the Sea
The giant of Africa the great Nigeria
Land flowing with milk and honey
The garden adorned with gold and pearls
No! The rogues will not cast their spells

The axe in its adventure is capturing and 
falling the trees in this garden
The birds are flying away 
leaving their eggs in fallen nests and 
Their young’s in the care of the hawks 
that hides in the crevices of the (ASO)rocks

Their melodious songs ceased from the shores of our ears
The rhythm of their chorus is gone
O malicious describes musical notes of the new song
Mischievous is the beat that lace the chorus
The chorus i called democractic carol 
Mostly sung by the democratic parties
and that they do without sympathy or empathy

The terrorist like an adventure with pleasure 
ran through this pasture
Ravaged the age long value of our culture; 
Of progress, unity, love and peace 
Giving the ‘vultures’ an adventure

The greenness of your field is fading
that is done majorly by greediness
O my God, they do that with readiness
Your fruits are falling in false labour
The trees are giving up their flowers - their true beauty

O trees thou were made to shed your leaves
When we need rest beneath your shadows
The sun of Democracy raced and hurried from west to east
The race of the sun from west to east is to set
O Olympics of power in Nigeria

Will the sun of democracy in Nigeria 
at this time set in the east/south-south?
When we needed its rays the most 
Will the north and the south/east wait and 
watch it rise again from the west?

The moon also took refuge in the silver clouds
My walk through the night can’t be a solo walk
The stars are still shining and that keep me singing
I could hear the voice of the blue sky calling onto the blue sea….

“Oh God of creation, direct our noble cause.
Guide our leaders right, help our youths the truth to know.
In love and honesty to grow and living just and true.
Great lofty heights attain.
To build a nation where peace and justice shall reign.”
