Our Fatherland� by Honchogirly2k: 12:50pm On Mar 17, 2018
OUR FATHERLAND
Nigeria, Sailed by captains of corruption
The erstwhile giant of Africa
Sinks into the oceans of dilemma
The home of global warming
We await good electricity
Like the second coming of our Lord
We work like elephants
Feed like ants
We sing "peace and unity"
With voices that preach discord
We cry "let justice reign"
In the haven of injustice
Cows gallivant in paradise
Masses sleep in gutters
Nomads, reputable butchers
The CEOs of the greatest abattoir
That shreds human flesh
Our youngsters We called "Leaders of tomorrow"
Now,the big shots of " wire-wire"
Merchants of hoky-poky
Here lies unrealized dreams
Thrown into garbage cans
Then we sit and watch our ancestors rule from above
The malicious fathers of "hate speech"
Parade themselves as saints
Their big bellies filled with mischief
My countrymen
We watch our country
Like a reality show
Rise up from your slumber
Float our beloved fatherland once again

OUR FATHERLAND

Nigeria, Sailed by captains of corruption

The erstwhile giant of Africa

Sinks into the oceans of dilemma

The home of global warming

We await good electricity

Like the second coming of our Lord

We work like elephants

Feed like ants

We sing "peace and unity"

With voices that preach discord

We cry "let justice reign"

In the haven of injustice

Cows gallivant in paradise

Masses sleep in gutters

Nomads, reputable butchers

The CEOs of the greatest abattoir

That shreds human flesh

Our youngsters We called "Leaders of tomorrow"

Now,the big shots of " wire-wire"

Merchants of hoky-poky

Here lies unrealized dreams

Thrown into garbage cans

Then we sit and watch our ancestors
rule from above

The malicious fathers of "hate speech"

Parade themselves as saints

Their big bellies filled with mischief

My countrymen

We watch our country

Like a reality show

Rise up from your slumber

Float our beloved fatherland once again
