lovely.... Is this poem about Nigeria?
Can be likened to the present set of leaders who benefitted more from the system & have truncated the visions of the founding fathers.

Good one op

@ op nice one, though stanza 6,7,8 just perfect. Didn't feel 1-5.

Short and sound

"The people have turned when pushed to the wall"..........everyone has a breaking point

Lovely


So one day I will stand in front of God and give account of my life, Me that am shy
I will just run inside Heaven

Nice

Since 21st, if na nude picture of one yeyebrity, them go run push am for FP

I can relate this to our selfish politicians and the masses.

I can still live with poets, but those spoken words people? They make me cringe

A giant, once a mockery to all and sundry; tribal-religious prejudice, leaving destruction treading its path. The sleeping giant oozing while its neighbors harvest aplenty. Alas! now, She sashay back and forth; aslumber no more. Step-by-step, she's taking strides. Woe betides anyone that crosses her path. The sleeping giant now sneezes, neighbors scampered helter-skelter. Neighbors whose in time pass, rumbled in arrogance, now plead in ocean tears; starvation tearing stomach asunder! Will the handsome lanky-man heeds to their flood-gate of tears? Time will tell.

Nice 1 op.

Good

Nice on Op.

susrite:


I created thee with labour
Foundated thee on the best of earth
Made thee giants amidst thy neighbour
And provided thee natural means to wealth


I strengthen thy Arrows and bows
When the mighty subdued thy lands
I made thy old brave and thy youth bold
And freedom played out like sounds


Thou art graced with the mantle
To push thy kin to comfort
Like the rearer to his cattle
Whom should make joy come forth


But what have thou done?! Oh what?
Treating thy seeds to tears
The hand which I found few fault
Giving it so much cross to bear


Doom! Doom!! Doom!!!
All thou hast lead to reach
At every breath I see sorrow loom
Even when my sons preached


Thou art milking my people dry
And their agonies, walking to the sky
Thou push them down, whom I took high
And neighbour mocked thy giant... Oh why?


For it is written and thou knoweth
"The people turned when pushed to the wall"
Thou, then, stole the wall and runneth
And push thy people, they cry and fall


"They shall adapt" this; thy comment
Thou ignored their wails and filled thy pocket
I shall kill thee, leave thee to ferment
For thou suffers thy kin, the innocents.

Why didn't God create me a Poet?

everyone is better at something. I will feel the same way if I know what you're best at. Thanks ma'am

You tried, but this is somewhat generic.
I expected you to show instead of just telling how you feel.

the first 5 stanza explain the issues on ground, it's like the beginning of things while stanza 6-8 did more of exposure.

that's true, wasn't even expecting it on fp anymore. I guess conscience intervened.

read that again. It's just like Brizzle's reply to Joyner Devils work. I mean, it's like God's the one talking.

As a good writer, I expected you to take corrections and move on. Even established writers do take corrections.
