I Believe In Nigeria
With so many battles and
killings,
with slim chances of
healings.
Our peace has been taking
away from us,
and our glory days are far
behind us.
Our nation has been torn
apart,
by those whose love are far
from our heart.
With tears running down
our cheek,
with the killings and
violence at its peak.
Every where is been
flooded by innocent blood,
and our treasure been lost
in the mud.
Everyday we live our lives
in fear,
with so much pain that we
can't bear.
People been nurtured to the
highest level of hatred,
and now innocent lives are
been affected.
Hatred has given birth to
death,
and death taking away our
precious life on earth.
With people living their
lives in hell,
even when they mean to do
well.
Properties are been
destroyed everyday,
and thousands of lives are
been laid to rest each day.
Is it a crime to be a
human? ,
or is it a sin to be a
nigerian? .
Is it a cause to crave for
peace in our nation? ,
a nation that's moving
closer to the point of
destruction.
Each day our kneels are
planted on the ground in
prayers,
to eradicate pains that is
been inflicted by peace
haters.
All i know is that all hope is
not lost,
because in the ebullient
nigerian spirit i trust.
No matter the trouble we
may be going through
today,
it will be a testimony we'll
say some day.
For every pain that we feel
in our heart now,
the peace of heaven will
erase it some how.
For every sacrifice we make
for the peace of our
country,
will go a long way to erase
every of our misery.
No matter the level of
destruction in our
neighborhood,
i believe one day
everything will change for
good.
