MOOD: PATHETIC


EMACOT

Let me take you tour to a world,
A world created by the Almighty and later recreated by Humans,
A world where we live in fear and dismay,
A world where we walk naked yet not ashamed
And live comfortably with our nudity
When shall we rise again?

We have been through a lots of Tribulations,
Just because everyone cares for Education,
Even when we have constitution and yet live under maladministration,
Because no one is ready to voice out Communication,
we die inside with immediate Devastation,
And twice the President leave us for Aboard Medication,
No entrepreneurship, Our youth looks like a phone without configuration.
When shall we rise again?

I sat on my fence looking far and wide,
So many thoughts came into my mind,
I remember those heroes' who fought with their might,
And water roll down my face like a saint who is kind,
Not even now adays, the country is so worst,
Just because we all neglect our duties and it moist,
All we do is go to churches and mosques,
Praying to God even when the answer is right beside us.
And I ask when shall we rise again?

Our Birds with his feathers can no longer fly,
Doing all what we can just to make sure we attain a height,
Economically, We are nothing to write about,
Educational, We still struggle to get that,
Political, we are ready to be there, because there is lies in the Alter,
Most people who steal, fight and kill are crazy,
You promise them good leadership and democracy,
they were all disappointed for the failure, no one knows if all we have is autocracy, When shall we rise again?



KIRA

Let me take you down to the journey of planet earth,
Created bya Godly creature but destroyed by the greed of man.
A planet where there is no trust and hope,
A planet where we have been ripped off our dignity,
And yet we still feel no shame.
When shall we rise again?

We have encountered a lot of difficult situations,
Just because we are hoping for a better future,
Even when we have leaders and yet we live with frustration,
Because our leaders are not leading but only caring for their own stomachs.
We searched through the east, north, west and south for a better leader.
But inside of us we still believed there could be no change.
Our youth are dying of depression,
All hopes are been lost.
Children are now even been declined of simple and direct education.
When shall we rise again?

This is the same country great legends fought for,
But now it's all a waste.
The question that comes out of everyone's mouth
"Will there ever be a better Nigeria? "
People are weeping,
The trying circumstances are severe.
No jobs, no good education, no way to a better life.
When shall we rise again?

If only our leaders will take up the post of leadership for our welfare,
And have pity on every Nigerian working so hard to make this country a progress.
It would have been different.
What have we achieved being giant of Africa?
What can we boast off?
Is it the underage kids hawking just to feed?
Or the youths who struggled so hard to get education and yet no jobs.
What exactly is our pride?
We cry out today for a better nation.
When shall we rise again?
