Is Not Easy

is not easy 
since birth we 
came to realise 
that we have to 
deal with struggling
this struggles has 
been our story 
off course we have 
no other but struggles
some friends we know 
curse it more bitter and harder
some friends try help 
ease a little off our neck 
yet the struggling continues

is not easy 
since our child hood
we grow up with our 
familiar reality 
struggling is never away
from our life's till now 
is been too long till now 
our conditions increases 
the struggles 
our rights proves we can't
do without this struggles
it looks like it will never 
end if we don't end the source
till now our hopes are rooted
with struggles 
our future begins with 
struggles
and now we are still
struggling for freedom

is not easy 
Biafra's need freedom 
we need our indigenous
human rights
we don't want this strange
imposed struggling
from Nigeria any longer
enough? of exploitations
of different kind 
the mass killing
the wars 
the force to be one Nigeria
has created us alot 
struggles 
and now we are struggling 
to be free from 
Nigeria not 
from Africa
