Twinkling
So we were told, Just like the Song we sang
"Twinkle twinkle little star"
But the stars are dim
So we keep wondering
And now, we are in a wander land
You have right to vote
and to be voted for
But I can't remember the last time
They used the count
While we raise our voices in secret
To speak our minds
The only voice we hear is
"This is Nigeria, get use to it"
I don't believe in this, but we are living in it
They make the rule and break
They take the treasures to hides
They make patrol with it
All we do is to wave at their vans and say
"They are eating our money"
Even the one we thought
would make the Change
Wears his glasses to say
" They are now in chains"
They all come in like youths
With their ages reduced
Only to steal the goods
And forget the youths
Who are the pillars for real
If the pillar is weak
Then the house will fall!
