A BAD DAY

 

Nigeria!

A nation in an unbridled political atmosphere

Breeding malicious brutal murderers

Incessant gruesome associations of outlaws

In quail, Nigerians habituate helplessly

From time to time, its world trembles

Without delay, we face ocean of pains

At ease, in placid we quaff

Political wrestles ponder our soul

Leaving us in the wheel of misfortune

In a platter of blood, we wash our hands

Our valour and hopes are dwindling as prides

In comity of nations, our country is on the bench of plebeian

Yet, plaudit ordered by fellow compatriots

From the world, a sarcasm and sagacity of a low profile

Nigerians, blindfolded by fellow Nigerians

I hail all you obsequious,

All Nigerians whose scorns are salient

For long ago, you died

The obsequies yet to be announced

In sarcophagus, your corpses lie.

I wish you could again rise

To, all your wrongs right
