Poem
Still in the dark Billion spent to sought power Tax payer’s money squandered in squares Acronyms changes at will Names altered with ease From the early days darkness of Never Expect Power Always -NEPA And as we swim still in darkness today in Please Hold Candles at Night-PHCN I recalled in pains and agony My rather not to be mentioned encounter With an European lady of the German extraction Whom I tried endlessly and helplessly Told our kingdom’s darkness gory tales to She tried but could not comprehend “Are there no hospitals in your kingdom? How do patients survive during operations? Don’t you have tubes moving people? Don’t tell me your Industries is on generator 24 hours?” Still fighting darkness of the mind in the dark. How long are we going to stay in darkness? Are we destined to be in darkness? Why struggling with darkness when there is Power to power the land off darkness What is missing is the will power To power ourselves off this man-made darkness. Let the masses rise today and arise forever Enough of power promises without power No more long time invisible vision Which is devoid of visible will mission Time to take over power from the royal dynasty And light up with power off this darkness is now. Alayande Stephen T. 11.45pm 24th March 2007
