Metamorphosis

Mared and stigmatised
even rejected and cast away 
though for some reasons
all now past-see a new being
memories of the past now a scar
on her path  ne'er to be forgotten
resulting into blatant discrimination
paradoxical to this  view,she's an
haven,a paradise with beauties of nature
oil,wildlives and mineral resources
sought for all over the world even by critics
inspite trheir shortcoming,she still cares
she is a mother indeed,mother of all-Nigeria

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
