Nigeria of My Dreams 2

Nigeria of my
dreams,
Where the tortoise
shall have a hand
shake with the
elephants,
The lions salute the
fowls and the
lizard.
Wolves the goats
shall dine together
in peace.
Pseudo democrat
rewarded in their
own coins
And justice shall
reign like water
within and outside
the country.
Nigeria of my
dreams,
Where the youths
shall have their say
any time any day,
They shall be the
leaders of tomorrow.
Where poverty shall
become an old song
among the idle hands
And the currency
shall be seen in the
gutters all over the
place. the national
cake shall be shared
among the beggars.
