In My Country Home Poem by Emmanuel Joseph Olumakiss

In my ountry home;
We've got life but we are not living
We've got air but we are not breathing
We've got food but we end up starving
In our matrimonial homes we go hiding
In my country home;
We've got water but we're so thirsty
We've got treasures but we're so empty
We've got wisdom but we lack understanding
We're denied freedom notwithstanding
We've got government but there's no good governance
We've got parents but we're made orphans
In my country home;
We've got brain but we don't reason
We've got wealth but we are still suffering
We've got right but we're like mere slaves
We've got soldiers that don't value lives
We've got husband but we are made widows
Frustration stares in our own windows
In my country home;
We've got monsters as leaders
We've got gangsters as deliverers
We've got foes among families
We create room for nemesis
We've got tribes but one is made superior
We've got the crowd but we feel inferior.
