NIGERIA, WHICH WAY FORWARD?

Is to look within us

And see the answers
To all our many questions
Questions like these
Are will free at home?
 
Like what do say and parade
With soothing words mixed with pride
Of this world are we one nation?
United in religion, ethnicity and creed
Or mere words that actions cannot be backed up with
 
What binds us together
As a nation and state
Are we really with that heart
The heart that feels at home
Which way forward Nigeria?
 
Have we forgotten freedom indeed?
In chase of self-seek ill-gotten wealth
Enrich our pursues all in the name
Of cutting our own share of the national cake
Where is the peace have we lost our unity
 
One nation bound in freedom
That freedom that transcends peace and unity
In on habitation that we call a nation
Are we really one nation? Bind by sovereignty
What binds us is more of what breaks us asunder
 
Have we gotten freedom indeed?
Or we are just a prisoner whose door
Is open and refuses to come out of the prison room
For how long shall we continue to go on this road
Where is the unity which way forward Nigeria?
