Tribulations Of A Country by princeajuwon(m): 8:47pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
TRIBULATIONS OF A COUNTRY Tribulations of a country, Blessed with milk and honey, A country with beautiful cultures, Country with diverse ethnic groups. A country with verse land, With enormous natural resources That only one of it, Is enough to make her rich. A country that's affluent Her richness is so enough, That if shared amongst her citizens They will all have more than enough To take care of all of them To enable them live a prosperous life. Tribulations of a country, A country with so much richness, Yet poverty beds with her Because majority of her citizen live in abject suffering And die in penury. Tribulations of a country Where only few swallow the riches, Those few are the political tycoons, The masses are in destitute. Tribulations of a country, Where the masses keep crying everyday for help To be saved from the hands of hunger and sufferings For their beloved state gets worse With each passing day. Tribulations of a country, Where the leaders have Selfishness and self centeredness as their watchword Who loot money without check They wine and dine with their kinships And leave the majority in hardship. Tribulations of a country, Where the leaders appear like saints, But they are nothing but enemy of the state Who think of no one but themselves As better than those they rule. Tribulations of a country, Where the lives of masses are worthless, Compared to that of ants That's how they are treated In a country blessed with so much value. Tribulations of a country, Hit with several attacks By group of insurgents Who has sworn allegiance To destroy the holistic picture of the country Innocents souls die en mass And yet, there's no reasonable efforts Made by the leader Except making continuous vows to curb it, Whenever the deed is done. Tribulations of a country Where many have been displaced And they have become homeless While some have turn to refugees Right on their father's land. Many children have become orphans Several women turned widows Who lost their loved ones To the killings by the insurgents. The military is inferior And subjected to the mercy of the terrorist In the display of their expertise, In the showcase of arm and ammunitions. Tribulations of a country Characterized with bad leaders And the followers are non the better Tribulations of a country Where the youths are jobless The leaders of tomorrow The productive population Gets lost in the crowd And become nuisance. The captain of the country-ship Shows no concern for them Not even catered for Abandoned to wander the city Looking for the ruins discarded by the captain. Tribulations of a country, Where the leaders are corrupt And adorned with a lot of vices Ranging from embezzlement, bribe, immorality Injustice at the brightest. A country where vying for political post Is only for highest bidder Those who know how to manipulate things Even if he has nothing to offer So long as he has enough to spend He will be imposed against the wish Of those he wants to rule For their opinion is of no use. Tribulations of a country, Where the electorate sell their rights They trade their future With stomach infrastructure. They care not of candidate's antecedent Nor about his/her manifesto All they care for is to get settlement That will feed them A day or maximum two and Live through the pains for the next four years or forever years. Tribulations of a country, Where the electioneering process is costly That an ordinary man dare not go near Because the price he can't afford to pay Everything has been monetized. The political class is desperate They do and undo They turned political affairs to do or die By killing whoever stand in their way And use them as an elevator To get to where they desire. Tribulations of a country, Where her citizen has learnt by crook how to endure hardship They live everyday in hope for the best But they fold their arms without efforts On how to get the best of their land. Tribulations of a country, Where religious leaders have lost their dignity They desist from saying the truth For the corrupt leaders fatten their pockets. As they dine and wine together, Accept them in their congregations And praise them like gods So they will not cease from coming to them. Tribulations of a country, Where the government has turned to a National cake Everyone want to take his/ her share Forgetting that it is meant for all citizen Not for the greedy few. Tribulations of a country, Blessed with massive natural resources But lacks good managers For the benefit of her citizens. Tribulations of a country, Where the standard of education is geometrically declining Many public schools Have been dilapidated As resources allocated for education Have been siphoned by the caretakers of the country. The leaders seem not to care Because their wards attend private schools Either at home or abroad As the public schools are perceived low quality. The state of education is declining at an alarming rate. The future of the country is cloudy. Tribulations of a country, Where basic social amenities are lacked, Despite the riches, She cannot boast of portable water, Stable electricity she does not enjoy, Basic health care they lack, The roads are nothing but death traps. Tribulations of a country, Where people's judgement have been clouded With ethnicity, tribalism and religion bigotry, So long as the said person has something in common with him/her, That makes him a good man. No matter what he does Even if he's worse than Pharaoh To them he's a saint and always anointed. Who will save this country, Who will emancipate her from this sufferings, If not herself? Who is she? She is YOU and I. Let's make that change! Let's be that change! Arise Nigeria!!!! Written by: Ajuwon Mustapha Tijani |
