NIGERIA @60 POEM BY BARRISTER ONOME I. A.
Arise ohh compatriots
For Nigeria calls in pain
She is saddened for years lost
But believes it was never in vain
Tears replace laughter
While the rich prey on the poor
The glory of her youth is soon forgotten
As its tales have turned a satire
Let's not clamour in regrets
When we could be jubilant of what is and once was
A pride land of richness that transcends mere wealth
A home of greatness infused beings
Who are actively ready to portray intellect and humor
We stand firm, gallant and proud
Showcasing diversity in cultures
Yet now the giant is small
Creeping like a toddler on its knees
Becoming that which it fought hard not to be
A dependent state
Nigeria is a decade past it's golden jubilee
The hour has come for change to emanate
Let's shadow our vices with inbuilt strengths
