Lineage of Warriors

A deep pink color tinged with orange like that of a flamingo walking with our feet in shallow water As I gazed upon the sunlight, dazed and bewildered Squeezing the life out of us we believed them just like Adam and Eve were cruelty taking over like cancer Asking us to put on a mask and loose who we are Manipulating our psycho Playing tricks on us Terrorising our souls Hijacking our thoughts Waving the flag singing the national anthem but they kept on firing the chili bullets mixed with ginger, cumin and oregano They mow down a number of lives Seeing the blood of my brothers and sisters smeared to my face The trait of extreme cruelty What a brutal barbarous savage act The color of our flag painted with the blood of innocent people They have being treated in a cruel and savage manner My mind is still on replay trying to find answers We are in agony of hopeless grief We're griped by fear of failure and rejection 20.10.20 is the dressing code Venue Lekkitollgate As they danced and rejoice by sipping the blood of young Nigerians What they asked for was just a new Nigeria The mistakes of our past will not hold us Surrounded by demons on our left and angels on our right You can't mute us We're on a rescue mission to save our fatherland @bint__abdolrahman
