VIRTUE OF TOLERANCE
O virtue of great toil
our country has been in constant turmoil
Where bribery spreads like whirlwind
Where colossal of corruptions converge like Corona
A den of legal thieves and wealthy debtors.
With peanuts, they entice---
Oh, the poverty-striken youths...
Voters votes traded with crumbs from the national cake.
Sugar-coated lips, seductive statements ,
unredeemed promises of a better nation,
Turning deaf to the masses cries
You live in your mansion while we are but a homeless, ill-treated hustlers
You run abroad for medical treatment
And leave our mushroom hospital deadened
Education for too long has been a rough road
Strike today, strike tomorrow, starvation thereafter,
Half-baked builders, half-baked students,
How your potholes slow down the speed of the people!
Let us overlook every flaws
And work to remove our claws
Let us rise as patriots, to defend our country against bad government
Till the dreams of our fore-fathers comes to reality.
Nigeria @ 62
