THE GIANT IS BECOMING THE ANT
#poem
For 60 years we had yammered
Some of us stuttered and stammered
We clamored for a forward Nigeria
Where the poor will take tea with the bread buttered

This is 60 years;
On television & radio we uttered our mission
All they do is Jumbled and cluttered
Our interest they pillowed and our thought put into gutter
Could this be the fault of our forefathers?

Maybe yes, may be No!
But certainly, we've got wrong starters
And perfect nonstarters, who couldn't decide their own matter
But were made leaders.

A succession of cheese cutters
Those who suppose to father our affairs
But couldn't act but sputter
Our resources they gathered to develop others
And the citizens, were left tattered

This is sixty years,
For God's sake this is sixty years,
What do we have to offer as individuals,
To take this nation further
