WORLD CHANGERS
The world is alive
Alive unto truth
No fear of insecurity
No fear of the future
World changers crying
Out aloud
“Give us the tool and
We’ll change the world”
The leading star is vanishing
The speed is doubling, tripling
And now it is sky-rocking
Will this dying star once
Again brightens up?
Will it for once vibrate?
To shake off the shackles
And set forth the couriers
INTERLUDE
“The world is waiting
For you”
But first of all “give us the tool
and we’ll
Change the whole wide world”
THE DYING
LAND
Alas soul brother
Oh father
Behold the doom
Your trace is doomed in the room
Once known for tranquility
The sect is set strong still to
strike
The raiders dreadfully determined
to destroy
Oh father
Alas soul brother
To take our rightful portion
To whom has the Giver given the
portion?
Soul brother
Raise your anthem aloud
And let not the done
Be again allowed
For ours is ours unto divinity
For this have we got through
The trinity
So raise your anthem aloud
And let not the done
Be again allowed
For continuous tranquility
Unto eternity.
CHEERS OF
CHANGE
Here we
are
Cornea
filled with salty water
Lips
filled with words of the weather
Minds
filled with allusion
Thought
careful for revolution
The
present minded
The
hands melted
“Cheers
of Change”
The
moments of challenge
“Cheers
of Change”
Filled
the air
All
ready to be fair
All cry
aloud
But the
test of time never allowed.
Often times, we
are bound to ask this very important question that has for sometimes now
lingered in the heart of well meaning human beings on the basis of freedom and what
it has to offer humanity on the grounds that it has been given by the Creator
to stand and fight for the bourgeoisie, the proletariat, the well-to-do and the
poor masses.
Now, the big
question! Where is the FREEDOM? Is it hidden under the rock? Or is it lodging
useless somewhere in the bush? Where is the change we’re all clamoring for?
What about the incessant killings of our brothers even in cold blood?
**(sobs…)** All these are big questions that have not found answers for some
time now!
Therefore, the
above poems discuss the various issues of concern bothering on Security, Change
and proclamation of ironic freedom.
I am dedicating
the poems to commemorate the 53rd Independence Anniversary of the precious
Giant of Africa-Nigeria! The fatherland…!
World Changers discusses the interlude between the nation
and the nation builders. The nation builders is the government and the nation
is the nation’s offspring, for it is often said that the future is in the hands
of the children but now the children are crying out loud that the needed tools
are not readily available for utilization. They cannot just see themselves
being the future transponders of good utilities when what should be is not.
Imagine that great enemy of Educational progress-Labour STRIKE! As matter of
fact, it needs to be cut off from the system.
The Dying Land is another poem that expounds the
geographical head-butt in the various parts of the country. Benue, Nassarawa
and other states have the Raiders to their necks and also the other states have
the sect to their throats!
Cheers of Change finally satirizes the double minded
soldiers (citizenry) who have the guns with them but are afraid to pull the
trigger at what should be terminated.
I want to hereby
wish the country a happy celebration and a hitch-free jubilation as we look out
for greater possibilities ahead of every Nigerian who sees the future with high
positive expectation!
Long Live
Nigerians,
and
Federal Republic of Nigeria!
