Nigeria's Independence Maxim

Years long ago, In Africa’s largest nation,
We agreed and called it truism in notion
That Independence and freedom did celebrate 
And the region’s state did jubilate-

That colonialism and external exploit may die, 
In the stressful twinkle of an eye
Believing that it shall rise no more
We knew not the core conditions of the fore. 

Streets, markets and on went gay
One strong aim, to herald this day
But the day of independence experience 
Had taught gone and living consciences-

That political liberation and freedom
In many sad and grieved kingdom
Is not and cannot be political maturity.
This clarity has been known to reality.

Useless Wishes

*Useless Wishes*
It is a useless wish
Desiring to be another
Acknowledging not your content.

It is a useless wish
When you wish the world
To be yours,considering others not.

It is a useless wish
Wishing that the one-
Who corrects you,dies instantly.

It is a useless wish
When you wish to live on earth and live O'ever.

It is a useless wish
When you desire to know
Without the instinct to AskListen. 

It becomes a useless wish
When you wish wisely with folded arms.
