I'm in a world of blood,

Innocent blood soaked in the land,

The land I walk on everyday.

I can smell the sorrow,

How possible?

But the smell,

So pungent.

Tears falling down my face with each smell I perceive.

I can see the innocent child,

Wailing in despair,

His mom gone,

Her blood flowing on my land.

Soaked red,

The ground red,

Where are the green grasses?

Where are our hope and joy?

My country,

Giving us pain for bread,

Suffering for promises.

My country, Nigeria.
