DO YOU KNOW THIS COUNTRY?

Do you know this country?
Which once a giant star in the galaxy of black sky

Do you know this country?
Which one time a pride in the heart of colonists

Do you know this country?
All tribes once a broom that caused the sweeping away of enslavers

Do you know this country?
Where its kingship now pilots by mental twisters and foolish jokers

Do you know this country?
Where land fumbling with endowments that could beautifully adorn its offsprings
But misusing by hungry cuisers and greedy eagles

Do you know this country?
Where billions barrels of oils disappear into thin air
Like leaves in the winters

Do you know this country?
Where you will hear trillions dollars but later drain into a serrated hole

Do you know this country?
Where its people in tribal friction because of mountaneous height

Do you know this country?
Where your ear will hear money but there would be nothing about its function
As a few cats has lick-dried the pots

Do you know this country?
Where tribes and ethnics are only after their interests
Instead of interests in the national cohension and existence

Do you know this country?
Where you will wish but not be wished
As your wish had stolen by fairytale

Do you know this country?
Where you will toil round the clock
But in the end,you will reap nothing from your farm

Do you know this country?
Where foetus has morally decayed from mother's bag

Do you know this country?
Where husband is a lion in the face of his wife
Where wife is a hound to her husband
And parents are sapients to their children

Do you know this country?
Where man is a slave in the hand of woman
And woman is a disease to other woman

Do you know this country?
Where man is a cancer in the heart of woman
And man's life is nothing in the touch of wind
Where sky-water turns to monster that chases away land goodies
Where cultures are in the limping injury
Like dog striking with stick

Do you know this country?
Where you can die with none care about your corpse

I know this country is on the west-wing of black bird

A satirical confirmation of what Nigeria has become emanating from political bedlam and logjam
