Nigeria at 57

AT 57

We have grown to become the old-young child
At 57 all our mighty dreams are still unborn
No more shall our pains hide
For our garment has been stripped and turn

The stories to tell the dead
Are full of mockery and deceit
They fought so hard to stitch our thread
But the greens and the white we've changed to a mark of cheat

They saw us very promising like the firefly
But inside our skull lies no mind
We rambled through the forest with lie
For even our headlight we keep behind

They saw us as humble as a dove
But the fire we've created between the East and the North burns higher than the height of the mountain
The hatred deeper than the depth of the ocean
The anger wider than the width of the desert
And the pain colder than the ice in the sea heart

Oh! At 57 we are yet to know our destination
