I weep bitterly for you
oh fatherland
for the things I see
and the stories I hear
People dying on a daily basis
children suffering from malnutrition
Welcome to a state
where the rich gets richer
and the poor die in their huts
a third world country
where the leaders have nothing better
to offer but corruption
a state where animals loot
and steal money used as an
excuse for the greed of
a set of privileged folks
who seek all things
for their selfish self
welcome to a state
where the youths are
staggering from one office
to another looking for jobs
in a country where those
in power cannot provide
employment for these folks
Oh fatherland
you have so many flaws
and I can only speak
about a few,with no
hopes of tarnishing your
image but hoping you
learn from your mistakes.
I LOVE YOU,NIGERIA
