A Country!

It is a mixed up

A wrong blend of colours

Giving a disjointed picture

The unacceptable it should be

Except the acceptable beauty seen

A run for it

A run from it

Generates heat of a brewing war

Where the strong becomes forceful

And the weak pitiful

What do one run from?

Where do one run to?

Those that have answers,

Do not speak

Those speaking lack clarity

The shallowness of thoughts

To ruin souls

As deep understanding is scorned

The mind is weary

And the heart is silent

There is a movement

The sound is heard

Not in unison of beat

But the same pattern

To show there’s a country.

Happy Independence Day Nigeria! We are breathing if not in unison but the same pattern of breathing in and out. Yes! We are still here for Nigeria. Let’s celebrate her because the beauty of one nation shall keep us hopefully together as we continue to pray for the advancement of this great nation.

Cheers!
