2023 and Beyond: Musings
Long we waited
Almighty year came and here lay the fear of motherland
Swirl political stage for the players
And our naira trapped for their safe
EluPee Jagaba ,Balabluen to feedeeefeee
Mixed splash emotions
A symphony of pain, joy and despair
From swapping naira colours to food prices
That ran to Zuma rock where no common man had a chopper to climb
Miles gone from 2023
Everything is racing beyond pace
We are looking back on this walk
Was 2019, 2015, 2011 better ?
Japa or stay ?
Questioning and answering to gloomy hopes
When the day is awake
Do we ask ?
For the oil in our backyard is not ours?
Or the market man and man in power run us street ne ?
When will the pay day herald ululation in our homes
Than the fear of the debtor?
Or the gun man ravaging unprovoked?
Renewed hope , I promise me to be hopeful
Despair revived ?
Our thoughts ravaged in whirlwind
But we renew hope
For hope is our light in the tunnel
Even if Nigeria happened , again
Let Nigeria work for Nigeria
