Award for the dead

in #poem6 years ago

Diving where?
.
Diving forward or backward
Nigeria is moving indeed
As the beautiful ones are not yet born
So is the sage remain a philosophical sepulchers
.
Is there anything like going forward to the dead?
Or backward to the man above with divine deed
Are we diving the fire that burn?
Cos sage attribute is lacking in our leaders
.
The livings are suff’ring in all area
Yet the dead is deemed award and authority
Can this be the present Nigeria?
Or Nigeria in its present antiquity
.
This might be extempore to ‘oh you lazy youth’
It is incredulous that the dead are better than you
If not so, account for the demise will not spell your better tomorrow
Where you be a messenger of death for the consumer of your morrow
.
Keep being a political thug because you want to power mouth
And all they ought to empower you will be for the demise you
Assuming you are not lazy
The six-feet fitters would not have weep to govern to your hazy
.
Oh the uneducated Nigeria lazy youth
When are you standing against all these moth
This year is the award for the dead
When will the living be rewarded?
.
Where is manifestation of ‘children of today are the leaders of tomorrow’
When your mind is to get there and make enliven narrow
One day you will also leave to the land of never grow old
There you will be accountable for this portfolio you hold.
