Our resources they siphone
to corruption, we are prone
Running our government like lotto
embezzlement no doubt by then is pronto
...
Just like roses
Humanly beauty poses
Blooming and dazzling in the cool breeze
Like when at a cobweb we sneeze

I am Philosophy student in the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) . I have many unpublished poems. Poems of Love, friendship, courage, injustice, beauty, etc. I am a lover of poetic rhymes. Interacting with my fellow literary minds has always been a pleasure that comes once in a while. This is not because of anything except that good things are not common. There is always room for constructive criticism of my works. Thanks.)
Corruption
Our resources they siphone
to corruption, we are prone
Running our government like lotto
embezzlement no doubt by then is pronto
From constructively criticizing them, the feeble shy away
Taking the bull by the horn, the courageous said no way
Watching people
counting peebles
i tend to loose hope
feeling like i can't cope
At a time i asked
is it in our nature
to forever be under pressure?
To our problems we need to pay attention
for once in a lifetime it is our nation
The high and mighty has to cease oppression
before advising the terrorists to cease operation
With your selfless coperation
we can make Nigeria a greater nation
