Who's Fooling Who | A Poem For My Nigerian Leaders

Which way Nigeria
We have gone too far with everything
We have been fighting each other since independence
How long shall this continue

Who am I to ask this question
A man with little reputation
A bloody civilian
A none politician
An ordinary hustler

Our hearts cry blood everyday
Our doors of happiness keep getting tighter everyday
Our method of interacting with you my leader gets more restrictions everytime
Shall we then be called beasts of no nation?

You told me that they were my friends
Why do they have to hurt me everytime
Why do they have to extort from me everytime
Why do they have to kill my innocent brothers

I complained to you but you never listened
I suggested to you what needs to be done but you ignored it
Now my angrier brothers are burning your stations
Who's foolish who?
