Patriotic allegiance

                                  



It was rush hour aboard heading for the twin tower                        
Reminiscing on time spent on earth opportunity on tour
Buzz from the news feigned hope buried in the pockets of loots
Media merchandize prevailing shadow of truth yet looms

Convoy aloud escorting thoughts to amnesia
Another military reign in democratic regalia
Afar from the need of a common Nigerian
Indamines with lofty manifestoes every year

National convoy on selfish ambition
Paled from the sting of colonial amalgamation
A fortress founded on greed for exploitation
Underneath unrest of patriots preaching caution

Marginalized by my own kinsmen who yet agitate for Biafra
Even though the prior election has set our state on diaspora
Gullible masses feigned by untamed ideologies due to impoverishment
Boko haram in the north fruit of another potential emigrant

Alight this laden mind that unconsciously engaged on a random tour
Across a nation whose policies render the masses poor?
Technocrats on board infected by ancient venom, hence their insights make us poor
Conspiracy beneath masked by paper and files because your figures are blurring
Proliferation of selfishness so the youths result to arms
News headline of our youth on cuffs for cyber crime
Jury for same youth whose prosecutor was the loot
Rant from a bourgeoisie whose kids are in foreign schools
(Sponsored by loot)

National treasury left ajar mouths still agape
Receding drum bits, contrast soprano of agape
Foreign allies applaud their theory of apes
A symphony for service hypocrites

Am proudly Nigerian with innovations in my bloodline
Equipped afore time for revolutionary tides
I will awake to this responsibility I owe my generation in receding times
Armed with understanding of my right,
Demanding transparency and accountability from those we gave right
I will be actively involved in fostering unity, peace and progress
With our potentials we shall diversify our human and natural resources
For in the posterity of our nation lies my prosperity
So help me God...
Ukauwa kelechi
