Nigeria
I wonder what a
country
Will be so blessed
With rich wildlife,
vegetation and
poultry
Yet it remains so
stressed!
Naija!
My country so rich
yet so poor
Sitting nicely on the
banks of the Benue
and Niger!
Fastly crawling onto
development yet so
sure!
Full of so much
beauty
Yet surrounded by
thorns.
What a sight of pity
Left by her colonial
master's scorns!
You will recover I
pray
From these
distractors who lead
you astray!
