DEMOCRAZY IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY
DEMOCRACY IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY
Yea how shall we start with
Dancing to tune of craze
Walking up at a lever so aching
Dragging with demons all days
Who did we offend, which way
I'd thought of asking for bail
Was only given state of bill
In clouts juggling up in their stakes
Who'll will deliver Nigeria
Hope promised
Hope denied
Peace promised
War reinstated
At every 4year, a rant
At all the 4years, lordship
One man enriched
All men enslaved
Stealing branded with white
Pocket gutted in corruption
Who'll dare to ask them?
Remember the carcass filed the street
Streets and cities in desolation of bones
Gathered them the corpses they denied exist
Who'll then want to be among anonymity
Watch as they make themselves emperors of the days
To democracy twisted in their craziness
The odds found odd to display in placards
Asking horrendous demand to shuffle their needs
In asking amiss to the root of their course
Who does not know they're birds of same feathers
Free from '60s , enslaved in millennia
To extent their youngs moved on the slavery
To land of unknown to mothers, in coined of japa
Because their mothers did not care to mussle them with milk
Thus, went to crave the pieces fallen from tables of the fatlings
Who'll rebuild our flag
Who'll restore our anthem
Who to trust in horn of doubt
Or we'll waive our country bye in a neck-locked forever?
