Analysis of Bloody Independence



In all  the countries I know,
When they hear of independence,
Their liberation detonates their heart
Screaming out loud from being free from a destructive beast.

I know of a country
Where fowls are foul
Yet faking organism,
Leads to sarcasm.

A highly peaceful country.
Coupled with ever-persevering leaders
That makes the youth enjoy the federal cake with them.
Since they operate a democratic system.

The country I am talking about,
Is that which has 36states with a KABA (Fct)
Where the road is far promising than  other countries
Foreigners appearing in amazingly to settle down.

I wish all I said ever existed,
Alas!  I am back from watery dreams
Where imagination leads to fantasy
As we come together for another bloody independence
Even when we are still incarcerated
By godfather disguised as helper.

Another year with discomfort
Struck by our people
Son of the soil is now the animal on the soil
Even animals enjoy beyond us in Ogun state.

Happy Bloody Independence
Another year to be chained
And controlled by an insider
While the youth keeps running away.
LETS ENJOY OUR 62ND YEAR AS A NIGERIAN.
