Nigeria Resurect

With wealth and blessings overflowing Non would project this time we behold To prove to humanity the lesson of life Nothing stays unless true effort is made The fourth is falling before the eyes of all Reversing the theory of consolidation A growth grounded in falsehood is a lie The truth only can truly sustain any Achebe saw it all before departing flesh The Country stopped being as we looked Like the carcass unbundled by termites The country extinguished self willfully Where the rules were thrown to dogs Living like existence is National joke Minds drifting according to how directed As some swore to balkanize the Nation Consequences of action and inactions Where impure purposes rule decisions The essence of being becomes eroded Until the fabrics break to show the rot It is gone like all can see The pot has burst clearly The feared has finally come All are in confusion for next The end has come No prophets needed The past has caught up We are all part and in it Death and birth sustain creation A new Nigeria is a desired option Where truth will lay the foundation After cleansing that goes with ending
