My Countryland

Suffering and smiling
have always been our talent.
Believe in your country,
Nigeria go better,
is our mantra,
to comfort our offsprings.
Three generations
mustn't suffer,
that is what an adage says.
But coming to reality,
everyone is in agony
Our leaders
seated in parliament,
claims to be there for our sake,
but if it isn't favoring their bulgy pockets,
Bills won't become law.
When corruption favours them
then they call it connection.
Blood of the poor,
is use for cleansing of the wealthy sins.
When will it be better?
Who will wipe out our sorrow?
A land filled with honey
now flowing with blood.
