THERE WAS A COUNTRY!
1. Strategically
located in the coast of West Africa
Not belligerently,
remained the pride of Africans
Famous for
no evil, populous described her people
Extraordinarily
creative, and skillfully talented were her people
There
was a country!
2. Across the
world, waves they made
The delight
of the universe, her people stayed
Notable they
were, for trailblazing
Even the
weakest toddlers dared not be lazy
There
was a country!
3. Loved by all,
and blessed by nature
Admirably diverse
and exquisitely rich, was her culture
Broken in
her court, was the yoke of ethnicity
Rooted deeply
like the iroko, so was unity
There
was a country!
4. A happy
people, indeed happier than the angels
Fashioned by
the empyreal hands of divinity, not with gels
She with
wittiness managed all duress
Only hard-work
and excellence got awarded success
Nigeria
was the country!
5. With alarming
precipitousness, her strength turned weakness
Amidst the
murdering and maltreatment of her offspring, she is voiceless
By them
that once loved and cherished her, now eschewed she is
Helpless in
all things and strong in nothing she is
Where
is Nigeria my country?
6. The circlet
of shamelessness, wears she like a King
By her
stupidity and pride, the conscience of truth she killed
With prodigious
dexterity, the arrow of corruption pierced her soul
Reaping now
a bitter harvest another sowed
At 59, she waggles
in the pains of chains, rather than the cheers of change
Where is Nigeria my country?
