Enemies within

No matter how hard you try, they can’t be conquered

Enemies within are the most difficult to fight

The more you tend exhausting your might

The more they keep rebranding their plight

They retaliate with a hard strike

You might even be caught on hike

We voted them in, but none fulfilled the promises they made.

The money meant for seed were usurped, with excess of greed,but nobody intercede.

The money meant for the development of rural territories,

Was later deprived of the intended municipalities.

If schools, hospitals and other facilities

Have been constructed that they have access to all of these.

People will be educated within the stream.

Who would have ended up engaging in banditries?

Are our governments the enemies that I actually see?

A number of graduates that roam on the street,

Washes cloth to survive thirstiness and for money to feed.

Some even to the extent of begging , incessantly as they breed.

Yet no one is thinking about what their future could yield?

Are our governments the enemies within that I claim to have seen?

Or the graduates, which have caused us fraudulent societies?

Come what may,  nothing will be done.

Mendacity, perfidy has made the nation seem moribund.

Yet we have cool luminaries that if welcomed aboard,

Nigeria may not be the same story read as worse

However, within us lies the unsuspicious faults

Our present condition is the outcome of what we put forth

Our enemies are within, but we dance to their tune

Real lies will be realised by real ones that are yet to unfold the truth.
