WHEN OF A NATION
When shall we smile again?
When shall tears cease rolling
in torrent down our face?
When shall the sun smile
not but with us?
When shall we shutdown
masochism?
Is this the Nigeria sir Herbert
Macauly fought for?
When shall justice vanquish
brown envelop?
When shall we stop drinking
from the red cup of corruption?
When shall the head be ready
to carry the burden of
the masses?
Is this the Land Dr. Nnamidi
Azikwe fought for?
When will there be food for all?
When will Nigerian's stop
sheltering beneath bridges?
When shall we stop rag for cloth?
When shall we repudiate the
policy of the rich becoming richer
and the poor becoming poorer?
Is this the Nation Chief Obafemi
Awolowo Fought for?
When will our certificate sit
not at home?
When will white collar
be provided?
When will our pension
be refunded?
When will our democracy
speak for us?
Is this the country Sir Ahmad
Bello fought for?
When will our abducted girls
return?
When shall we value pen
than sword?
When shall bomb stop
threatening our life?
When shall we say No
to insurgency?
Is this the state Sir Earnest
Ikoli fought for?

to Mr. Dollar?
When shall we patronise
our local made product?

made in Nigeria product?
When shall we use our
common Sense?
