THE ROAD TO NIGERIA
The road to Nigeria is littered
with bones of those who protest,
those who splash spittle on the
faces of our generals,
those who lock their doors
and bid farewell to their relatives.
The road to Nigeria is littered
with skulls of innocent masses,
bodies of men whose wives curse
their murderers every night.
Zuma, the rock of Nigeria
The road to Nigeria is full of Soldiers
who test the potent of every bullet
by burying them in our bellies.
The road to Nigeria is full of blind seers,
greedy polithievesmen with lips carved
with lies.
The road to Nigeria is full of citizens
who die as they wait for a blurry
tomorrow.
