Where have we gone wrong?
Who have we offended?
We never imagined,
We never saw this before
Yet, we accepted it
The birth of the pull is biting
It's teeth are a hurting comfort
And it's fangs chooses no flesh
Yet, our very eyes are witnesses
Who is to blame?
When tomorrow's bread is served
in today's plate
The pregnancy of yesterday is emptied
And the child stares all in the face
I am not seeing this alone
I am not speaking like a mad man
My neighbor sings in same solo
Living religion, parties, and earthnicity
Eaglets are seriously sweating as the
day and night travels away
The North, West, South and East
feels the crown's language
I see a new dawn, dawning a new
A dawning where the Eagle's piller
is awoken
Climing down on looters known for looting
Standing tall amidst injustice
and corruption
Freeing the grips of religion, parties, and earthnicity
There springs a new Naira speaking
in one voice.
