And She Forgot

AND SHE FORGOT (Letter To Mother) And she forgot that sun still set, And she forgot the stars are still above And she forgot the cock still crows And she forgot that day still break. And she forgot she birthed us She left us and travel to an unknown land Oh! mother where have you been? Come home for your Hut is on fire. For we now loot ourselves with no pity For we now kill ourselves for power, For men are now slaughtered by men For we now eat from a plate called corruption. The home you left is not the home we live anymore, We now plant evil and reap misfortune Our rivers now oceans of blood, Our democracy now democrazy Senators now sinators The cloud now shed it horrible tears on us. We are the architect of our own misfortune I saw our three elder brothers, They killed justice seven years ago And peace was shot at the village square. They beheaded love And sent unity on exile. We are now left with, Misfortunes and poverty. Mother Green White Sail on sea, Fly in air, Walk on land Come restore things at home For our home is now a graveyard. ©Adedamola Quadri Adeniyi All Right Reserved 2017.
