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.
