POETRY: I Know A Nation By: Lateef Olalekan Olaniyi [Leo Zhimple]



I know a nation where the origin was a grave incidence.
It was an action that was carried out with no conscience.
I know a nation where the people claim different histories.
intertribal crisis of all sorts, bitter experiences with glummy stories.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I know a nation where the leaders sabotage the heroes's path.
They rule the people towards a deteriorating part.
I know a nation where the leaders are busy enriching their pockets.
The promises in their manifestos, after attaining power; "they forget".

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I know a nation with varieties of secretarian strive.
To the commoners, they have to face an uphill task Just to survive.
I know a nation where the elites' deeds are scandalous.
Even within the commoners; "so hideous".
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I know a nation where greed has taken over the mindset of the people.
The spirit of "we togetherness" has turned cripple.
I know a nation; blessed with natural endowment.
So unfortunate the controllers are blessed with the sense of "pocket empowerment". 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I know a nation where corruption is rampant "among and within" the classes.
Even those claiming "Saints", they all have in archive varieties of corruption cases.
I know a nation; struggling under the misery of felony.
It so sorrowful "my nation is groaning under agony."
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
