Virus Poem by Blessing Abiodun

Just as the locust
Destroys and destructs the plant
Nigeria, a place of plenty
Full of pride, beauty
And pure jewel
Our vicious leaders
Sucks and subverts its nutrient.

Just as the canker worm
Consumes the bud and leaves the tree
Nigeria, a place of dead hopes!
A home of hungry masses
Pot-bellied leaders,
Who stems inclination
Eating the flesh and bones of the populace

Just as the scorpion
Punctures and cast its venom
Nigeria, an abode of prestige
Giant of Africa!
Antagonist of the economy,
Whose occupation is to extinguish
Invade and disrupt the system.

Just as the preceding leaders
Rise to fight the masters
Nigeria, a place of power
Full of vigor
Arise! ! Let's all rise up
To combat and resist
The corrupt, corrupters, and the corrupt system
