My Nigerian Dream
I woke up to a garden of Coctus Spectabilis
All over my surroundin' like a gushin' spring,
I forsaw a land flowin' with delicacies from diverse
Ethnic group.
A land where my little treasures won't walk the streets
With fear nor trembling' feet,
My Nigerian Dream
A nation where the penal code system won't be
A Dracula's lay fill with carcasses;
The low 'n' mighty shall respect 'n' value each
Other's gift.
Men should cloth themselves with tolerance,patience,love,
Above all-peace!
I dreamt of a land where no one will be disenfranchised
Our voice would be heard among nations as doves'
My Nigerian Dream
Where masked beings won't deny me the right of innocence,
Freedom of expression,not even stealin' the sunshine in my
Smiles.
Every one deserves to be free from scavengers,who will
Demand ransome for their release;even to the point of
Feastin' on the lifeless bodies of their victims.
I don't see hyenas in their packs laughin' mischievously
Over my little accomplishment.
Dele giwa won't be silent on the sight of assassin's nozzle,
Neither will Ken Saro Wiwa deny his root.
My Nigerian Dream,
I shall make meanin'out of it.
