Sister Nigeria Bleeds
I got up this morning
The sky stained with blood/
Searching for the answer/
Brothers & sisters from Nigeria screamed for help/
The Eagle has fallen from the sky/
It wings have been broken/
It feathers show misery/
The beauty of democracy has faded away/
Welcome to mother Africa/
Where citizens are beaten up/
Standing up for thy right/
Gun sounds make them afraid
My heart bleeds for sister Nigeria
Blood are seen on her skirts/
Her legs are opened for brutality/
She has been raped for practicing democracy/
I can't stop weeping for Nigeria/
She is swimming in the pool of blood/
The white strip in her flag/
Has been darkened red/
On her skin, I see bruises/
Her land can't flourish peace/
Her eyes can't stop bleeding/
My fingers are shivering while typing.
