SONGS OF A NAIJA MAN

 

 

1. In the very heart of a country, plagued with abductions

 Lives an untouchable and ageless king of intrigues and corruption

 

2. In its trampled courts, and laws

 No mention of an office of a Primary Spouse

 

3. Proudly elevated is the office, to the level of a big ministry

Gulping billions like a black hole; o land of mystery!

 

4. Constituency allowance, fathered by intrigues and corruption

 Is the Emperor, ruling its parliament; creation of its disabled constitution

 

5. Exotic Jeeps, durable toys for the rich, movers and shakers

Adorable pets, and darling dolls for its extravagant lawmakers

 

6. Politics inflammatorily promoted to the level of religion

Non followers treated like they are guilty of rebellion

 

7. Its oil company, ministries, agencies and others, stink to the high heavens

Billions lost, trillions unexplained, thanks to their Deep Throats' cravings

 

8. For their failure to obey the law

Things always done wrong and raw

 

9. Giving room for illnesses and confusion

Leaving no room for correct direction

 

10. Antagonism to the law and obedience

Forever breeds lawlessness and violence

 

11. That keep the gate to reason and peace

Perpetually closed to unity and progress

 

12. Mere rituals are its annual budgets

 No other way, yielding but fake results

 

13. The garments, of steel wrought by its military

Nits heyday of power and glory

 

14. So easy to wear!

So much difficult to bear!

 

15. A rose by any other name

Sure, will always smell same
