ISN'T IT NIGERIA IN OUR EYES? By KEMKA S. IBEJI
We're entangled with the confusion
We're in a severely muddled pond
It seems like abyss and a pond
Nothing is real, nothing is unreal
Everything is unreal, everything is real
It's our world and we live in it
Olden days bads are norms now
Disdains of then are celebrities of now
Common will custodians turn usurpers
Our guards are robbing and raping us
Friends of God are living in hades
We're urged to say more?
No wonder! Morality left the law
The temple of justice's sty of outlaws
My attorney's a head hunter
My Lord is a criminal
It feels like hades is here
Our pens are bleeding falsehood
Our gowns are misleaders
Our pulpits tell lies and deceive
Our people are eating sands
But a few praise the Rock of Aso
It's a wondrous world, it's Nigeria
Don't let us mention Africa
Wake me up from this nightmare
It shall be alright one day
Waning never on hopes
Just one day soon...
Many pictures of Nigeria, few painters hungry not to paint. We may have a history that's so blank.
