NIGERIA @ 61: A Curtain Drawn

I see a curtain drawn

On drift and graft;

On indiscipline and inefficiency;

On shame;

On poverty. 


I see the Light shining in, 

Displacing the thick darkness. 

I see the sickening cloud 

Giving way to abundance of rain. 

Hope in the horizon

Makes my heart glad. 


God forbid that I curse

A nation the Lord has blessed;

That I contribute to your pain;

Or, hasten your slide into perdition. 


I pledge to be a foot soldier, 

Displaying and promoting the best of you. 

Till the promised deliverance I see. 


Happy Independence to all that work and wait for your rising.
