The Giant of Africa

Torrents of thoughts torment me
Floodgate of distractions rack my soul
Avalanche of delusions 
Decapitate my mental faculty 
As I muse over the degeneration 
That has dogged my beloved country 

She manifests every aspect
Of a failed state
The giant of Africa has lost control 
Of her Territory to terrorists
Bandits have re-colonized my fatherland
Kidnappers strike terror into the hearts
Of weary and hapless Nigerians
While her economy continues to
Stumble and wobble with ignominy 
In the hands of oil thieves 

The ancient perpetrators of
rape
Against our father land
Are shamelessly like vultures 
Gathering and flying over
The carcass of the comatose nation
To gang-rape her to death 

Arise fellow Nigerians and stand firm 
Let us take our country back
From chaos to path of sanity
