THE EVILS THAT THRIVES IN OUR SOCIETY

Writing this poem in an awful plight,
I wonder when mr.nigeria would be safe and secure.
Everyone running helter-skelter,
Insecurity and kidnapping are our next door neighbours,
Social vices are becoming rampant in the society at large.
Injustice, corruption and inhuman killings are the order of the day, 
People are scared and filled with fear,
Many innocent souls are lost in the struggle to live.
The masses of our land becomes poorer;
while the politicians and the rich people of the society are filled with abundance,
We need change in all aspects of our society.
But the change start from you and me
A change of the situation in our country
A change in our behaviour
I hope for a bright future for my country: Nigeria
This is my dream for Nigeria
