Many a
nation bequeath progress to generations; even unborn
Many
congresses of men, a gathering of purpose and course for development
But for
one; a gathering of plunderers in disguise of political officials
Men who
are proceeds of dribbling correct political measures and processes
They
adorn themselves with Agbadas, saris and suit sitting without purpose in our
political suites
They
receive from the common good, the common struggle, but they will never extend a
hand of social brotherhood
Today a
billion has gone missing, tomorrow a trillion has been kidnapped by the animal
kingdom
Hmm!
Cartoons!
Even the
unborn clamors en - route; driver! Please, Nigeria not!
The
infant is in debt even the unborn of the Niger - area; their fathers have
fattened themselves with the gains of national good for no good
Alas!
What driver places his leg on the steering munching goodies while driving
millions of people?
Surprising?
Well that’s the Nigerian reality, the beast we got to battle with
The
children of the soil have been sold, even before growing
Inherited
by an inheritance!!!
A 100
billion dollar loan from the IMF or the World Bank or China; for massive social
projects they claim
The next
time we checked, it has been swallowed, hidden in various pockets, Ah!!!
Who will
pay me back my loan? China wails, IMF claims, the World Bank agitates
Well the
children know they’ve been sold out without ‘change’
Inherited
by an inheritance!!!
This is a
massive national ‘dis’ nevertheless we pray for ‘grace’
