Change
They say it’s all we need
But would it be all we see,
When it comes, is it constant?
Do we need a monster?
To give us the thing we need?
Do you always get what you seek?
I lived a life worth living,
You lived yours without believing.
Is change all you need?
Is it all ''she'' can give?
‘‘She'' is NIGERIA
A representative of Africa
Does she worth the post?
She stands by, and watches the river over flow.
They said she is sick,
they said she can't see
They also said that she is corrupt,
But they can't make her stop.
They said she has to make decisions,
So it would be better for her generations.
But she can't do it on her own
She needs someone, like the body needs the soul,
but he always disappoints her,
One by one, they make her seat a state of pride,
They all owe her,
In her main area called Abuja.
I love my country
They judged her wrongly,
I miss home,
Never will i forget the place I had grown.
