My Country

My country is under a siege
That's why I write a dirge
My country is falling apart 
'cause her leaders have taken the wrong path

The land is full of greed 
Remember, That's not what we agreed 
Masses continually wallow in pain 
Yet our cries is often in vain 
Nigeria is another old today
Then it's falling away 

The youths they refused to give the way 
The old have refused to call it a day 
While they have ship in the deep 
And , masses continually killed like sheep
Corruption, nepotism, there watch words
Neglected, the constitution as their watch dog 
Which has been known to the world 

Nigeria, The sleeping Giant
With Great lands of hope
Lush vegetation by nature provided
Where diverse icons of Erudite are awarded
In the past we uttered corrupt masters
In the present we call , kleptomaniac in their fingers 

Nigerians, independence we cried out for 
Unity In diverse they preach
In the inns we hope to reach
As they've democratically persuaded to teach
We had the freedom to be free 
But has been more strong weaker

Nigeria my country is about to fall 
That's why I am making a call.
