The Clarion Call I Obey

The clarion call i obey, i was called to serve my fatherland, to experience a different cultures, norms, beliefs, ideologies to see and feel a different region.. Days gone by, months gone by, i understand the people's clamour, their unimaginable unbearable hardships, The weather is cruel and harsh, it stings like a scorpion bite, The sun is hot it hits deep into the depth of my skull.. Breeze ceased, Sweat dropping, Water is expensive, Life is expensive too, Tribalism is venomous, Segregation is disastrous, The leaders are heartless, they show favoritism, regionalism and expect obedience, harmony and peaceful co-existence from the masses... One Nigeria they said, i bet that's only on paper.. Our leaders enjoy luxury, the poor masses are chaotic, A layman prioritised family problems rather than societal change.. A bad orientation leads to misunderstanding, the three majorities are considered while the minorities are at bay.. Our country is in turmoil, herdsmen stories on the newspapers front pages, their settlement burned down to ashes, Farmers ambushed and killed.. Life lost.. No peace within! Our leaders ain't planning for a better tomorrow but for tomorrow's election, several years down the line our stories still remain the same.. My fatherland was my pride now my dissapointment, So many graduates unemployed, the jobs are reserved for the sons and daughters of the elite.. The street is filled up with crimes... I exclaimed!! Who will bring back harmony to our dying nation??...
