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. @APRIL 2017/©M.H.O.G Unveiled
