My Nigerian Dream
Towards the dawn of the day
when the sun must have shown it's mercy
paving way for the joyful moonlight
joy has come indeed
The youngsters run helter skelter
with joyful and loving heart
caring less of tomorrow
Joyfully ignorant of the future
Their screams of laughter
knows not success
Nor failure
As the days breaks into another
So does growth and maturity
An act of God and nature
Not until eighteen
The fear of failure crept in
The desire to succeed started burning
Dreams of greatness awoke
In a land without honey
Nor greener pastures
Dreams are put to test
Dreams are killed
Dreams are buried
I choose to fight for mine
When circumstances of life hits hard
Hopes of success and greatness shatters
There and then I sought for my early days.
