2023 Musings

 2023 and Beyond: Musings

Long we waited

Almighty year came and here lay the fear of motherland

Swirl political stage for the players

But to us running in spiralling tunes like it was swange

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
