Blessed Nigeria by Major001(m): 7:19pm On Jan 18, 2011 |
BLESSED NIGERIA Cogitating on the miscellany of problems Bedeviling our cautiously-created federation Shoots round zillions of doleful spikes on the inside; Pointing tirelessly to the abundant deposits of Natural and Human wealth – enviable beyond doubt. Regrettably, the arrow of development has been Repeatedly thrown, solely, against the crude element – Enriching only a handful – the real gang of terrorists! Our remaining elements have been dumped on the Back burner – cast into the pit of oblivion. Our adroit minds are absent; but present in Many an alien environment – serving as loyal tools Of positive prosperity; justifiably forsaking their Fatherland – who has woefully failed to avail them Conducive conditions to express their superb ingenuity. How long shall we continue to brook these intolerable Beasts – squirming as derision-objects in the cauldrons of lack? This seamy trend must cease; our dithering must cease. The moment to enroll with the intrepid has come; To make a choice, bound to alter our history’s course for the best. This choice begins with you! Good luck Nigeria! DRUMS OF WAR I hear it clearly From far away; A distant land – not too distant. It is close enough For me to understand. I reel in excitement, Fired up with anticipation; Hot sweat, coursing down My pitch dark skin. Yes – yes, I am ready. I looked up at the sky, My arms, stretched out far, Like the eagles,’ My heart reaching out, untamed, To merge with that unearthly sound. I feel the crave – the deadly desire; Myself – no longer on the leash. I forge dangerously ahead – An obedient and willing soul. Iyke Igwe 07030914532 igwesm@yahoo.com |
