Oh Naija! a poem by Jeff Pierce by AnOlderAmerican(m): 2:25am On Sep 04, 2013
Oh Naija, I fell mugu as if to voodoo
Beguiled by true blue black skin and ivory smiles
Songs and dances from ancient times, proverbs too strong for weak men's minds
Oh Naija, is it true that love equates money?
Flowers and bees instinctively create honey
"Na Wa"...not for all the groundnut in Kano can I find the agitated funny!
Oh Naija, corrupt politicians see what they want to see
Millions live in poverty behind a padlocked gate and the greedy hold the key
Oh Naija, call me Babalawo for I am your fool
May the Congo wash me away as if ten billion baby mouths were to suddenly drool
