SHAMEFUL DAYS IN PAINS

In search of power, all the earth strolled

Now approved, like harmattan blows

Ill-wind from no where shows

Till God comes, in Nigeria there’s no hope

Let’s pray, if only we can for a while wait

Nigeria will for sure be great someday

O! What a shame?

A nation, once by all adored

Abound by riches aggravated

By oil wealth, overnight escalated

By unity, its ladders were climbed in the past

By rapacity, its grave was dug at last

O! Oil-rich Nigeria

Long hobbled by political instability

Its future, hijacked by religious sham

The majority isolating the minority groups

Greed for selfish interest, everyday increasing

Love for ungodly and unpatriotic activities escalating

Unruly deeds on the run, like wildfire

Like the sun, its shadows are farther
