The Dignity Of Nigeria Poem by MAGNUS AMUDI

The Dignity of Nigeria

Shall i begin to mourn you
haing the hope of your resurection
like the early christians
who believed that christ will again rise

dear mother land
will though ever rise again
the jews of your days
and the high priests of your land

are more callous and desperate
they want you crusified and crushed
in fear of your rising again
we the believers, are becoming doubtful

once you feed us with Milk and honey
these the high priest kept for themselves
your cause we can no longer advocate
with empty brain and stomach

our children call us fools
because we refuse compliance in the sharing

dear mother land
thy breast run with milk endless
yet your children are given paps

see our faces, dried and scragy
your name once blessing, now torments
our right to freedom of movement
association are infringed on.

we dare not associate with foreigners
they call us thieves
judas have sold not only christ
but has accused us to his death

tell us mother
durect our couse, hear our petition
send the holy spirit
not as tongues of fire
but to consume this tyrants
and free us of this slavery

yes slavery......
what is slavery
if not the inhuman treatment of humans
is starvation, poverty, selfishness not inhuman

we are refuges in our homes
without any red cross to help
we are like servants in a kings palace
most think we eat and dine with the king

but the case is obvious
rise dead brothers
rise nationalists
rise soldiers
rise students
Rise all

lets Restore the Diginity of Nigeria
