Buhari's Poetical Graphics Representation

All efforts tabled on Nigeria;
Experiencing a fortunate miscarriage, 
Feasting Aso rock- a pizzeria 
But never admit it is the cause of this age. 

Upon the solid manifesto, 
That touches all sectors:
Picturing California's Barstow, 
To cajole mandates of the electors. 

Finally, all promises are working... 
Nigerians are glad to vote SAI BABA. 
How beautiful things are shirking! 
Yet, we never cease referencing YORUBA's BONOBO. 

Now, pebbles tear apart the wall to a lowland. 
No sands dare last all days. 
Though, the wall can not withstand
The test of time come the apartness of clays. 

The crevices in the wall:
Is an awaiting lost of hope;
One day, the wall will surely fall. 
Just like acrobats won't last all days on  tightrope. 

The time is no longer right;
The poor and his rights are wrong, 
For there's no one to stand by him. 
Those beautiful hearts; pure and young 
Have been battered and their loves' lights dim. 

Buhari's reign is like what? 
Revelation said it well in his whatnot
And if that be the truth, 
Should we believe, lazy are all youths? 

Why do we fear actions and love words? 
If we never mind, our hens can fly like birds
But we keep living in reliving, 
The leadership orbiting the Africa GIANT's sun outliving... 

The societies expectations--
A reason millions are invested in educations. 
When shall we be tired? 
To relieve those supposed to have retired. 

Just like the withered leaves bring
Blessings unto tree to renew its strength. 
The odd flowers introduce the spring 
And relinquished fortitude to breath. 

The detached withered leaves 
That have been laid to rest, 
Can never regain life's airfoil
Than enrich the top soil. 

What are meant for backups, 
Ended up been the beautiful  ups. 
One thing unsure is the extent of our grieves, 
All are mere satisfying best. 

Of course, sun shall rise and shines bright on the green lushes, 
Blessing nature with its radiant nutritional solar energy. 
As the aiding glimmer  blushes, 
It shall promote unbelievable synergy. 

But if nights tarry for long, 
Mornings shall come with the healing birdsong... 
Youths, light the nights;
Cohorts, best their rest.
