The Lamenting Nigerian (short Poem) by TheBigUrban2: 2:57pm On Mar 31, 2013 |
[size=18pt]The lamenting Nigerian[/size] The land of the green-white-green The flag of the nation representing Oil and gas very plenty 419 money, deep pockets never empty Electricity never constant Generator noise never distant We’re suffering but smiling Government policies are beguiling I love Nigeria, a living contradiction Rich country, poor people Thieving politicians with no contrition While the honest man gets a conviction Pastors fly private jets in the south Imams keep sharia in the north When will a Messiah come forth And save us from living from hand to mouth http://thebigurban.com/2013/03/lamenting-nigerian/ For more poems http://thebigurban.com/category/general/poetry/ |
