"A Nation in Silence"
In a land where hope once bloomed,
Now lies the dust of dreams consumed.
Leaders rise, their pockets deep,
While the people starve, the children weep.
They rule for wealth, for family’s gain,
While the masses walk in endless pain.
Promises made but never kept,
In their mansions, the leaders slept.
The cries of the poor fall on deaf ears,
Their pleas for justice drowned in fears.
Speak your mind, you’re marked a foe,
A voice for change, the powers know.
A country where freedom’s supposed to reign,
But voices silenced, speak in vain.
We’re told that youth are leaders to be,
Yet they’re denied the right to be free.
Corruption spreads like a disease,
Kidnapping, murder—no one’s at ease.
Atrocities no longer make the news,
They’ve become the norm we must choose.
The guilty roam, their sins concealed,
While the innocent are wrongly sealed.
Those meant for jail are set to roam,
While the innocent face the unknown.
The police, once guardians of peace,
Now serve the rich, their hold won't cease.
Soldiers trained to protect the land,
Now harass the weak with an iron hand.
A country built on hope and pride,
Now lost in the tide of lies, they hide.
Where is the voice of the common man?
Buried beneath a corrupted plan.
But still, in the heart of every soul,
A fire burns, a dream, a goal.
For though they silence the voice of truth,
The people will rise, reclaim their youth.
Nigeria, the land that yearns for light,
Will find its way through this endless night.
For though the rulers may reign for now,
The power of the people will break the vow.
*We’ve been hearing, “Nigeria will be great again.”*
*But the question remains…*
*Will Nigeria really be great again?*
