NO INDEPENDENCE

What’s the essence of independent?
Without nothing like freedom
To live the life our founding father
Carved out for this great motherland
Where we all live in fear of what befalls us

As our future (youths) the hope
That will rekindle the flame of our tomorrow
Have lost fate in the country
In which we stand today to celebrate
A lot is happening and still to come to happen

Citizens are suffering and smiling
Under the disguise of e go better
That is an age long motto
For how long are going to go this circle
Of a pig hole

Gathered at this hallowed spot Eagles’ square
The rich are getting richer at every blink of an eye
As the poor masses are at the mercy of the rich few
While the wealth of this great nation
Is left in the hands of selected few going round and round

Little wonder a song writer and singer
Asked a question so many years ago
Which Way Nigeria? That questions has lingered enough
For it to get the answer but alas the writer did not get answers
Until an inevitable quiet end visited him

We are just a prisoner in our homeland
The door of the prison is open
But the prisoners refuse to come out
That’s how we are here in this entity called the state
No independence because we are still dependent in so many ways

Where do we start from?
How do we get to this spot?
Where are we coming from?
Are we really independent or still dependent?
As state, as people and as a nation
Let’s think about this as we celebrate at 60
