DEMOCRACY FOR ALL.

Will take today To mark yet another Democracy day 
Will solemnly stand in this hallowed spot 
Upon the soil of our land 
Which this nation strives to exist hallowed. 

From the fiber of its existence 
To the root the drive of the lifespan 
Of this great nation of ours 
To witness yet another democracy day 
With one petition. 

Democracy for all 
From the man out there on the street 
Whose cost of living has made him 
To take on the bus terminal station 
As is abode just because 
He can not afford the cost of rent an accommodation. 

For the one whose matter 
Can not be brought to the court 
Just because she can not afford 
The legal fees of a lawyer 
To stand in the gap to plead her course. 

Democracy for all 
Where our nation is really working 
With good healthcare facilities 
And a very lucrative economy 
That strives best for all not just for the rich. 

Where there is peace in the land
And our home is home 
Because our heart is at peace at home 
That is the Democracy for all 
A nation for all where everyone is equal. 

Equal access to healthcare 
Equal access to the judicial system 
Equal access to good roads and light 
Equal access to the nation's treasury 
Equal access to security and jobs. 

Until this is all sorted out 
Then we can have a democracy for all 
No matter the status and position 
No one is meant to be treated like a commoner 
Because Nigeria is for all and we have it.
