Birds Of Nigeria 🇳🇬
We are all birds
of Nigeria
the big ones
are predators.
their system is tight
none of their yoke is light.
nowhere is safe
all dark as in a cave.
the air is stuffy.
to breathe, we climb a hill,
high and lofty
and return downward
to breath air so cluttered.
all Nigerian predators
are old cruel leaders,
of our crafts they are masters
crueler than former slave owners.
It's all a puzzle _
who are we in the struggle?
_ we are all birds
of Nigeria
but the small ones
are preys.
