POEM FOR NIGERIA

BEHOLD! OUR FATHER. lo! Our father! The beauty of the gulf of Guinea Crafted on the soil of Africa Far away from Sahara's heat But fanned by the Atlantic's cool breeze and painted in one colour, Tuned in diverse tongues and heritages; Boardered on the north by "mountain's grandeurs" On the south by "deepest earth's wealth" On the East by "surpassing evergreen splendour " And on the west by "banks of nature's unending waters ---- And we are his offspring. Lo! Our father! Each year he get older, The cracks on the wall get bolder With littered unclouded bulges in his yesteryears. A life woven in minger. Oh! Our father, Your broken steps lingers still, But worst still, The present steps have fallen apart --- in impunity, Hypocrisy have savaged the master's mace. Oh! My father! Please tell me, Is this race accursed with these prodigates Are these curses from the gods you disdained? Aborn with cruel baton behind this pledge loyalty? For Lo, they're greedily wielded the glories of Thine unborn into their strange appetites, And have unhinderedly clinched these infant Head in brutality --- Please tell me, whose child are they? Oh! My father, They said "I will be a leader of tomorrow" But their treads are sordidly disillusionment And Lo, Every street is drunk with the blood of the "Future lords" Inspired by the insatiable appetites of these yesteryears obstinate domineers, Rending songs of gongs from our hearts As sounds of guns bewent Soiling the lap that gave us suck with the Blood from her own womb, Alack, father! The beauty of our dear mother is gone Because her monsters-king betrothed her Deceit. Dear father, Lest this ink fade away like the souls of the Stillborn lords, Please father, Forbade them from bidding this heartfelt Clamor to their hate speech tables, But, if they'll submit to afterthink And affirm the Salvation they've sworn to grace thy bowels with; We'll rise, AND SHINE, AGAIN, and your MAGNIFICENT shall be heard, again! HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY MAY A NEW DAWN RISE OVER NIGERIA . I planned to post video today and speak on the need for the federal government to start up AJAOKUTA STELL COMPANY IN KOGI STATE AND HOW IT WILL GIVE MILLIONS OF JOB TO NIGERIAN BUT I COULDN'T BECAUSE I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY PHONE.
