Song of the Sea

Song of the Sea The giant of Africa the great Nigeria Land flowing with milk and honey The garden adorned with gold and pearls No! The rogues will not cast their spells The axe in its adventure is capturing and falling the trees in this garden The birds are flying away leaving their eggs in fallen nests and Their young’s in the care of the hawks that hides in the crevices of the (ASO)rocks Their melodious songs ceased from the shores of our ears The rhythm of their chorus is gone O malicious describes musical notes of the new song Mischievous is the beat that lace the chorus The chorus i called democractic carol Mostly sung by the democratic parties and that they do without sympathy or empathy The terrorist like an adventure with pleasure ran through this pasture Ravaged the age long value of our culture; Of progress, unity, love and peace Giving the ‘vultures’ an adventure The greenness of your field is fading that is done majorly by greediness O my God, they do that with readiness Your fruits are falling in false labour The trees are giving up their flowers - their true beauty O trees thou were made to shed your leaves When we need rest beneath your shadows The sun of Democracy raced and hurried from west to east The race of the sun from west to east is to set O Olympics of power in Nigeria Will the sun of democracy in Nigeria at this time set in the east/south-south? When we needed its rays the most Will the north and the south/east wait and watch it rise again from the west? The moon also took refuge in the silver clouds My walk through the night can’t be a solo walk The stars are still shining and that keep me singing I could hear the voice of the blue sky calling onto the blue sea…. “Oh God of creation, direct our noble cause. Guide our leaders right, help our youths the truth to know. In love and honesty to grow and living just and true. Great lofty heights attain. To build a nation where peace and justice shall reign.”
