The state of the Nation.



The state of the Nation

A state without a vision

Where everybody has lost hope for a confusion

Where everybody is living in delusion

Hoping to have a visionary leaders with mission

That will reverse the lost unity in fusion

I remembered when our heroes was fighting for the freedom of a Nation

Their mission was to fight for the freedom of all Nations not a Nation

Their mission was the same with their vision

We have lost the glory of one_Nation for the separation

In which some Nations agitating for the separation

They alleged of marginalisation of their Nation

Where is the marginalisation?

Allegation that's watery and baseless, established to cause a confusion

Unity is the pillar of a Nation

Everybody has a role to play in this Nation

We must come to the round table to look into our confusion

So that we can have a country to proud of for the coming generation

God bless my country, Nigeria.
