What Am I Supposed To Do

What I am supposed to do
When everything around  me has gone crazy?
What am I supposed to do
When my beloved country 
Chooses the path to perdition 
Rather than moral rectitude?
What am I supposed to do
When millions of my compatriots happily 
Wallow in criminal poverty
While insignificant few parasite on our Commonwealth 
As Lords and masters of our
Collective destiny?
What am I supposed to do
When  my country men
Cannot sleep with two eyes closed
As terrorists and kidnappers
Have become our eternal nemesis ?
What am I supposed to do
When a new opportunity is
On the horizon 
But my compatriots prefer the status quo
Hobnobbing with their slave masters?
What I am supposed to do
When the hope for a new Nigeria 
Keeps slipping through our fingers 
At every election cycle?
2023 elections are around the corner
Nigerians must get it right this time
I cry and point to the right direction 
So that my compatriots can follow 
That is what I am supposed to do
Stand up Nigerians
Take back your country!
