They take away everything
Strip us all away what we’ve got
As nothing is left all gone
Gone with the wind and time
Us Vs Them
We walk through the storms
We breathe through our mouth
When our nostril is block with the pollution
Of the corruption in the land
Where selected few get by with the state resources
Everyone is apportioning blame to this and that
Where they all believe that some don’t matter
Where some are more equal to the other parties
When the richness of this great land are held at ransom
Us vs them
The rich are getting richer
The one that seat on the seat of power lavishing it all out
The masses that are at the corridor of power
Are the ones feeling the brunt of insubordination
Us vs them
The heat is getting heater by the day
Everyone is losing their mind
Everyone is going crazy
We’re living in a crazy world
Us vs them
Our taxes are misuse
Our land is accused
Where the blood of the innocent citizens
Has pollute the richness and fertile soil of the land we have
There is a mass poverty in the land
Our health sector is deprecating
As infant mortality rate is raising high every seconds
Those ones that needs to prosecute the money launderers
Are now chasing the ones they ought not to be chasing
Stealing on industrial scales with pen and paper
No one is raising questions
No one wants to fan the flame of questioning
As they feel no accountable to anyone
Acting as a dim god before the ones who gave them the mandate
Us vs them
We cannot just seat
On this space called the pity table
Seated around this pig hole
Talking for long hours as longer
Everyone got so much to talk
Exploring their prose
Of great intellects
Exhuming their arsenal of vocabulary
On the age long matter without concrete ends
On a subject matter a forgotten land
There is so much to do
In this great nation we claim will belong to
Been referred to as the giant of Africa
Where we eminent from
Forgotten land
Is high time we rise and speak for ourselves
No longer the one we bear the touch of leadership
That we all know to be called the government
Ruled by selected few in dedicating the pace for us all
Forgotten land
It all starts with honesty, peace, justice and truth
Enough of hiding in the four walls
With the age long slogan ‘e go better’ for how long will it
But to start giving sacrifice to the nation this great nation
Not what government can do for us all but our own self
But what we can do for us
Because is like a book that left the shelf long ago
A land filled with milk and honey now
Now so dried and drain of her resources
Is not the time to fan the air of hate speech
Castigating that person and pointing accusing fingers
In that house built well with the nations treasury
So hard to be penetrated into like a rock which is so hard
But what we can do for self in creating that nation we seek
Not a forgotten land ‘cos our founding father’s never sees it like that
They left it in the care of our mother
That’s while is referred today as motherland
Where there offspring’s were birthed, nurtured to greatness
Not a forgotten land just as it has been turned to today
By some set of select few drunk by power and selfishness
