Nigeria:Golden Generations Are Gone
Golden generations are long gone
the green-white-green no longer holds sway
unsheathed swords and machine gun
cries ring through,people scampering away.
hearts filled with burn and faces forlorn.
Hope is too terrified to stay
Regrets! Just how many chances did we spurn?
Nuggets!we threw nuggets away!
Despair has already won
Repair? Can we ever find a way?
those toils in fields of green are gone!
Black gold has come to stay
the green-white-green is fading away
Golden generations are long gone!
