Where's Harmony? Poem by Milova Matthias

Where's Harmony?

Rating: 5.0


Where's harmony?
When a priest becomes a thief.
And an Imam sells carcass as toys.
When the 'Po' men becomes desperate.
For sweet favors by making it a dagger thing.

Where's harmony?
When everyone loves a bribe.
And runs after gifts of a bride.
When guns of khaki and dogs go rogue.
Vivid me, oh people of Nigeria!

Where did you keep harmony?
Is it under 'Aso rock'? The president's wardrobe.
Or 'Olumo rock'? The ancient hide outs.
Then go heather and make it plane.
For I have gone there and found none.
I have searched crazily without some crumbs.

So now to thee I second hand.
Where's harmony? Our harmony!
Is it with Uthman Dan Fodio.
Or with Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi.
Or with Awolowo and the west side.
For I have outturned lands, wares, pockets and stocks.
Ransacked the olden past, the present and the ancient future.
But I could find none- absolutely none.

So I said maybe it's under the belly.
Of the mother earth or the ocean bed.
Where the legends are laid.
Our ancestors and heroes past lay.
Gone with them forever to eternity.
For we once had it with us in sokoto(pocket) .
But now, even now! It's not in sokoto.
Not in center of unity or excellence.
Or in the state of harmony.

To me I am poohed and weary.
And would have adjourn it to the last banquet.
But I second hand it to you.
So now I am asking.
Where is harmony and peace?
For it has gone out of hand.
