Onward bound

We may never stop wondering how the milk turned sour.
We may never hear the voice that called out to which our beloved heeded and bowed out without a goodbye.
We may never see the hands that snuffed life out of that harmless chick as it stretched and kicked till the bucket was empty.
We only feel the wind rushing down and becomes still after then.
Who knows if it runs in distress or bliss?
A baby cries when it needs help, how will the fingerling call out for help?

We will never have all the answers to all the questions life poses.
We have to forge on in the midst of these endless uncertainties.
The answers will come on as the journey advances.

Like a soldier, onward bound...

Occupy Nigeria

Bring me the cabals, the ones you blame for this woes
The cabals that milk our cows and sell us milk extract
The ones who live before we would have a chance to live
The ones who inhabit our land and make us pay rent
The ones in the tinted black coffins, racing off to their graveyards, built with stolen money
As we scurry off their path or risk been crushed.

Bring me the cabals, the one that have outgrown you
The ones without names or with names that have become worthless than dung
Who have placed a price tag on our fatherland
Who have raped our young women and castrated our young men
They have broken the will of the old that they would not bark or bite
Leaving them to hope without a fight
They have taken the oceans and rivers
And wouldn't leave the lakes and streams
You muzzle the ox that tread the grain....

Bring me your cabals, the ones you are a part of
The cabals you lead and would not name
Bring me the cabals whose loot belongs to you
Bring me your cabals, for we come uninvited
The hardship have occupied our minds for too long
We have tarried too long
And long lost the tune of the revolution song
...Your cabals have stirred it again, the beat of the forgotten song
And in our hearts it now sings
From every hamlet to every city, sings the revolution song
Occupy! Occupy!! Occupy Nigeria!!!
Occupy Nigeria- Reclaiming Nigeria (Our Land) from the hands of the slave masters and wasters.
