THE GREAT MOTHER

Good day steemian, welcome once again. Though there'd be a change in scenario today as I'd be diverting into poetry. Well don't blame me as I can't help my passion. Today's post is based on my Fatherland - Nigeria . That's where my patriotism is anyway, so don't blame me for always pinning my post on the "Great Eagle".
Based on the current situation of the country - terrorism, kidnapping, corruption and many more; I decided to pen my frustation (That's my strength anyway). Do enjoy... The great mother Nigeria!

How more will in define a great mother standing on her knee not feet
with promises kindled from a cloud of deceit
Yet she chants, “Arise, O Compatriots!”

A glowing light amongst her peer,
swaying with confidence like an Eagle in the air,
now becoming rickety like an old man that lacks care.

How much more would we watch on,
as she gets raped and looted of her treasure.
Threatened daily by terrorism and political pressure
and her future leaders shooed like an hopeless creature.

What can save her? Agriculture, tourism or sport
Mining, crude oil or transport?
She needs an answer! Enough of this onslaught,
making the sacrifice of her heroes ply the black spot.
After 56years of struggle, her story yields the same result.
Arise, O Compatriots!
Let’s get her out of this rot!

Thank you for reading.
