Now My Country

They said i'm a Nigerian; They wouldn't discuss with me. When i add them they chat me up, They say where you from? I said i'm from Nigeria? He shouted 'theif,theif'. He declined Me. But am i a theif? I'm a man of my garment. Only if i need your help i'll ask. I don't lay on another man's egg. But my country has stained my garment. He'd placed a false tag on my head. That's why i'll change my country, I'll do that even in an hurry. Bewitched with theft and robbers; G-guys and disloyal folks: Nigeria swims in foggery, Decked with lies and indecisive berries. I'm a 0% Nigerian. I'm made up. My country seize to be my country: America is now my country. I'm ready to fly: Americans,Who will be my sky? Please aid my fly. 17:20:17:15:34
