day after day
If I fail to live to your taste
I'm just trying to follow my faith,
to you, I am nothing but a child,
so little, so blind.
If I fail to follow your steps
to me,there is nothing more to fake,
I'm just trying to be me,
I guess I have the right to be free.
If you think I will be better being you
you might as well think this too
to me, there is no better word to say,
than being me day after day.
what do they tell you about me?
I tried to explain my style,
I sit up chatting and "gesting"
I Walk up a few miles
to radio my presence,
everything is just fine
my mind keep telling me,
do you understand my slangs?
what do they tell you about me?
But my eyes is fix on my pen
waiting for your answers,
what is wrong with our people?
My Dear Nigeria
I wanted to write you a poem about our dreams,
so that you could sing along as you grow older by the day.
I wanted to post your greatness across our boundaries,
so that people could appreciate your beauty and realise our values.
I wanted to critise everything I could,
thinking I Was not part of the blame,
but as I start writing this letter,
a voice from no where ask me this question " If no be Naija, where?
