NIGERIA AWAKE

 

Bellow! Rumble!! Roar!!!

Bellow! Rumble!! Roar!!!

Grief stricken cries,

Echoes on our dejected streets.

Pangs of hunger,

Sweeps swiftly through our provinces,

Leaving adults and children utterly smitten,

By its ravaging ire.

Distress like stallions,

Gallops across our country,

In tenacious strides.

Bellow! Rumble!! Roar!!!

Unfolding tears,

Hail the dawn of a new age,

Another age of change,

Whereupon our National flag,

Is painted in the colour of tears.

Our coat of arms,

Is shielded with inward pointed spikes,

And our anthem,

Becomes a song of lament.

Bellow! Rumble!! Roar!!!

Groans amass,

From the weight of frustration,

Pressing down our shoulders.

The horse whip of terrorism,

Bruises our pride,

And the immoral caress of corruption,

Bites skin deep,

Into the bedrock,

Of our Fatherland.

Bellow! Rumble!! Roar!!!

Cacophonies upon cacophonies,

Bellows,

Rumbles,

Roars,

Calling for the awakening,

Of an empire in slumber.
