Victor Immanuel Poet Dramatic Verse

Emi Lo Kan - It's My Turn

EMI LO KAN (It's My Turn)

What is "Emi lo kan"?
It is a selfish assertion,
It connotes one's right,
the selfishness that makes a man 
put himself first before his nation.
To put one's ambition and personal interest 
ahead of that of the common good...
It's adherence to individuality 
rather than positive collectivity.
Do we take TURNS where power is SHARED?

Emi lo kan (It's my turn).
I am next in line!
Whether credible or not credible,
Whether accepted or not accepted
Whether by hook or by crook
Whether by sweat or by blood
Whether by money or by influence 
Whether by threat or by manipulations.
Whether by tricks or gimmicks.
Do we accept SELECTION instead of ELECTION?

Emi lo kan (It's my turn)
Herald the voice of a dictator,
The tone of a tyrant.
The song of an enforcer.
The power of a Political wizard.
The declaration of a looter
The audacity of a principality.
But hell has no fury like a woman(hueman) scorned
And the stance of a frustrated masses.
Why should we accept DAMNATION instead of SALVATION?

Mr Emi Lo Kan, its not your damn turn!!
It's our turn (the people) to possess a new Naija????
