Sonnet Xix In You I Have Come To Thrive
SONNET XIX
In You I’ve Come to Thrive
Into the Race of Life
Innocent we came, Pure was our Heart
But I’ve found Myself on this Track
Track so Crooked and Compromised, the Vices of Nations
All over My Dreams are the G8s and 20s, the World Powers
Indeed, the Grass looks greener on the other side
But on this Track Lord, Why Me, Why Here?
The Potter, we are told the Clay doesn’t question
Vile is our Track, the Country of Our Birth
But, Like the Rose, the Cactus and the Crown of thorns
My Character I’ll uphold, to Dignity I’ll cling and to Prosper I’m Resolved
I Pledge to Nigeria My Country
In You I’ve Come to Thrive
So help Me Lord.
