When the Strong Cry

when the strong cry I couldn't be stronger than now so I never wish to see what I see today in my country it hurts when all is not right yet one feels handicap its painful to see your love ones slowly dieing right in front of your eyes I never wish by now what I see today will be the reality of today in my country when the strong cry too many problems everywhere too many cry's for help in distance places like now in Nigeria we are at the edge of collapse yet our leaders are acting like everything is under control while many are in bitterness while hunger are tormenting the innocent people still our leaders are less concern as always they gave us fake hopes when the strong cry is a shame how we are in poverty always while we have more than enough to live comfortably with is a disgrace when our leaders turns into jeters jeting out our wealth to a foreign land where it just abandon for nothing while we wallow in difficulty and deep well of lack yet they keep promising us always of a change while they are enemies of change themselves when the strong cry is not funny any longer how things turn around so fast in such an ugly manner our young men are jobless they have turn to crimes as robbery is now usual as normal our women has turn into prostitute our children are growing up single handedly by a single parent our economy is at a state of collapse oh God too many calamities up on my country yet there is no sign of change so upon this quest no matter how strong I am as I see all this calamities I see the strong helpless and that is when the strong cry
