AT WHAT POINT?!



Where did we miss it all
Where did we lose it all
Where did we polarise our convenient
For what shouldn't be and yet we move on
At What Point?

Who is inflicting us
With all these hardships and suffering
Is it just the man in power
Or we ourselves are the one
Doing ourself each one towards the other

Is so drunk with corruption
That our conscience never pricks us anymore
We've lost it that which makes us human
The heart for humanity and fellow countrymen and women.

Each day
Each moment
Corruption will keep shouting
Yet corruption fails to take it leave
If not it should take a French leave

But no
I wish our founding fathers are alive
Religion on the other enslaves more people
Our leaders have turned the nation
To an entitled heritage

And yet we keeping
Leaping like a laper on one foot
As we cry out on an hungry stomach
chanting the course of our nation
Yet we are still under the curse of corrupt leadership

Who did this to us?
Where did we miss it?
Where and how did we get to this point?
Which way Nigeria is heading to
At what point?!

Everywhere we go just like the MTN slogan
We see nothing less than hunger and hardship
We don't speak the same language anymore
Just like ETISALAT we lost our voice in unity
Our pride is trodden under other nation's feet
We no longer glow with pride anymore just like GLO.

At what point
Do we lose it
Our naira holds no water
No good healthcare system
Hunger ravages the land
Mass explosive rate of unemployment

And now we are heading to the election
To go out there and queue for so long
To elect a new leader while the ones
Who has lot the nation's treasures
Still seek for re-election at what point
Do we lost it and come to this point?
