Happy Independence Day to Nigeria
There is little room for optimism but I will still wish us well
A lot has gone wrong, is going wrong but I have hope
Hope for a better country with God fearing leaders
Hope for a better leader and not politicians
Politicians who seek their own pockets at the expense of the populace
Populace that give their all to make the country work but are being short-changed
Short-changed of their hard earned labour and sweat
Sweat of our heroes past are going to waste right now
Because we have clueless people at the helm of affairs
We have ourselves to blame but we have a chance to do right again
Happy Independence Day to my country, Nigeria
You are not where you should be but it's a matter of time
Time for drastic action and efforts to take you back to your glory days
The mood is sour so are the grapes
The nation is bleeding yet there is no band aid to stop the flow
It would take a collective effort if we are to ever restore this country again
And if we truly want to make our independence significant
Cheers.
Gingered Up! ❣️
