It has been a long journey but here we are
I wish I can say for the right reasons though
Nigerians are one of the strongest people
Yes, they even tagged us the happiest folks
Do your research, this is no jokes
Against us all the bad things they poke
We can always adapt to anything
But to this, I ask, for how long?
A lot of things have gone wrong
But for how long do we soldier on before we break?
How far more do you think our hearts could take?
Situations have made the worst out of many
No excuse, yes, but we all have our breaking points
A system that was designed to uphold justice, break it
The people that were meant to serve, abuse it
The country we are all meant to build, we tear it
Nigeria has become a feasting ground
Little wonder our debt threshold abound
Feasted upon with nothing left for herself or the outside world
How did we even get to this point?
Oh! Yes, I will tell you - greed
When the power of love is little
Compared to the love of power
When consideration has been kicked to the curb
Greed for power just to oppress
Greed for more money, still to oppress
Greed for more influence just to oppress
You are proud because you have bread
Have you forgotten someone owns a bakery?
Remember, there is only one God and you are not Him
You can have the whole world but what about your afterlife?
Greed! How is has consumed so many hearts
Turned even the kindest of person to a monster
All for the love of power, influence and wealth
As humans, as a Nation, this is how we got here
If we care enough and share enough
Don't you think the world would have enough?
The world has enough of our every need
But it is never enough for our greed
Taking innocent lives all to prove a statement?
Oppressing another just to boost your ego?
Abusing your power because you feel you can get away with it?
We have talked and looked for too long
No one is fighting for us, so fight for yourself
You must be living in a cocoon world of self-delusion
If you ever think those at the helm of affairs care
They don't care if the country burns
With the loot, they have acquired by greed amidst bloodshed
They can buy another country or create another one
Now, we take the fight to the camp of our foes
Enough of them standing on our toes
Let the whole world hear of our woes
We must put an end to this with every protest that goes

Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
