Force Majeure Denunciation
We the People,
We were never consulted,
invited or agreed to the the 1999 constitution
never resolved to live together as drafted by the Military lies in the document,
Invisible, indissoluble or
the sovereignty claimed were rhetoric of falsehood,
some crooked criminals who should be made to face Justice,
crafted a document
appended their signatures,
under a dictatorial agenda,
silencing us with the guns
imposed opinion fitting their agenda and called it constitution
We the People
Is a lie, How come my father was not there ?
My mother, my brothers, sisters were never there
even my own opinion is not represented,
Yet they say we the People,
t am not signatory to their lies
I was never part of their agenda
that is why I do not accept their oppression
We the People
where old men who should be great grand fathers
are seeking position of power,
where Politicians are busy stealing
where Police men abuse my rights
or stand on the way to collect bribes
where dullards in the senate decide my fate,
and they are too big to know my state
We the people
Is a Fraud, I was never part of it
I never signed my state or destiny to a sect
Now I see why I cannot achieve my dream
why I cannot fulfill destiny
I am locked up in a cell
The criminals are fattened
they call them Politician
They fly abroad from medical care
Leaving no health facility for me
they bask in gaudy wealth
No hope for my future
Yet they lied on me
that i signed my destiny away by a constitution
Citizens denunciation of Nigerian 1999 constitution
