I Love My Country

Dawn again in this gaol The jailbirds are imprecisely numbering One hundred and sixty million Or more of my countrymen. The jailors are three hundred and sixty humpty down And 109 dumpty members up. You will never see vessels that Could be emptier. Empty headed riggers; we never elected The two other estates of the realm Are but a sham. Even the fourth just stroll Through the corridors Hoping to be beckoned in To share of the loot. They call it national cake. The ignoble governors are known For stealing huge funds And they show no shame; You can't show what you don't have. And so nothing works anymore. Yesterday, Yusuf John stole 23 billion naira Worth of of public fund. He was taken to court and he confessed. The the lead-headed judge, Slapped his wrist with an option Of seven hundred thousand naira Worth of fine. The thief paid instantly from his back pocket And walked away free. Never has there been a country like mine Never will there be any like it.
