POEM: For Nigeria by Truman155(m): 3:44pm On Jun 29, 2018
I accept nigeria as it is

For it draws less tears

From all who care less.



I accept Nigeria as it is

But how can I not care

When I am surrounded with dread and fear.



Timorous,


That is a strong word to describe my feelings

Amidst the robbery, kidnappings

and Fulani herdsmen killings.



I cannot accept Nigeria as it is

for I am human

and I am Nigerian.



you can call me deluded

for I am a dreamer,

I dream with my eyes open



and like my countrymen would say


it is well.


it is well.


it is well.

In my own little way

I make Nigeria and the world a better place

if I could impact just one person each day

and save them by his grace

them I would be fulfilled


in my own little way

if I could show a street child he is loved

then I would have archived my aim

of changing Nigeria and the world


I don't seek glory or fame

I am just being human

for in my own little way

I know I've made Nigeria and the world a better place
