Ill Luck Nigeria (poem) by ifetife: 8:37am On Apr 23, 2015 |
In the deserted atmosphere of ours, Filled with nails and broken bottles, Piercing us and reaching our interiors Without considering our 1833 record, You came And removed our almost tattered clothes And gave us tattered rags. The luck in your good name we trusted, And we believed a savior had come, We taught the end to bad bloods had come, We hoped an angel had come, But, It was indeed an additional naked dancer That visited us with knives’ rangers. Good, Where is your luck? Because we added good to the names of our wards And luck to the deeds of our misfortunes. Alas, Your return brought the worse moment to us And your diligence brought us state pardon. His Excellency, That is what you are, As you turn to the uncommon barrow breaking our marrows And rendering us wheel barrows in return, Remember, Your queen turned to a public comedian And you also added daily dailies to our dailies See, We are not unaware of your plans, And we have heard about your fiction 2015 Meant to reduce us to rubble the more. Sir, We enjoyed our former state without much alarm, And we dislike our present state filled with haram. Yes, we love Boko, But, it has refused to carry out its roles. And you turn to our curriculum planner And the executors now teach us the invisible Indeed, Our luck is great As it helps us to stand out in other countries of the world We are silently watching your passiveness, And courageously beholding your wickedness Since we have no option Than to dance to the tune of your name. Luck, Remember that we were not born to suffer, But we have been trained to enjoy suffering. So, Continue with your deeds And let us continue with our meal Since we have no alternative. Rude luck, We know you for who you are And we identify ourselves with poverty. by OLUYIMIDE IFEOLUWA SAMUEL |
