It’s been three month now…
Yes it’s been three month since the beginning of this year 2011
Lots have happened, lots have changed and lots still remains the same…
We’ve been to Africa and back this year.
Specifically, we went to Nigeria…

Nigeria, yes, I remember this country…
A country of great wealth yet crouched over by poverty
A country that exude peace outwardly, but beneath it lies tension of pain..
A land that has been endowed with abundant blessing…
Yet this same land consumes it’s inhabitants..
What a country of contradictions…

A place where greed seems to be the norm…
Greed has a way of turning blessings into curses
How could a country with so much potential for good be so blinded by greed?
The whole governmental infrastructure is infected by this hideous disease…
A disease called “GREED”
In their greed they forget how to provide common basic services…
Their police force have been reduce to legalized armed robbers.

Landing at Lagos Airport…
Every official seems to want bribe…
But why should I bribe you oh lazy and good for naught officials?
I observed in pity and dismayed at how far this country has regressed.
This once beautiful country…
Once the pride of Africa…
Has now regressed to such a repugnante state of being…

A country where religious passion burns hot…
But their passion is denude of love for their fellow human being…
Greed seems to’ve incapacitate their ability to love.
They can’t think beyond themselves…
for even when they tried, greed seems to deny them of that ability.
They’ve become slaves to their greed…

What a pitiful country you’ve become oh Nigeria…
A land that consumes it’s inhabitants
A country whose political leaders are thugs in disguise…
For they can’t see beyond themselves…
Their greed cursed them with a blurred vision…
Your inhumanity to one another will be your undoing…

Till you rid yourself of this disease called greed…
You will remain a country of low reputation…
A breeding ground for lowlives and uncivilized people.
Alas, there is still hope, and that hope is in…
Putting away your greed, and letting love thrive…
Then compassion will rise…
And the healing will begin…

Gush the noise…
How they grow louder and louder…
They come wave after wave persistently
with each wave getting louder and longer
while the intervals between the waves get ever shorter and slimmer…

In vain I searched for a quite place, space or crevice
From which to observe this curious occurrence
The stupefaction and idiotification of the masses by political frenzy
The question that comes to mind is, What happened to civilization?
Or was there ever one?

The line have been drawn, sides have been taken
I can see and feel the tension mounts as both sides tear at each other like savage beast
Their sense of reasoning seems to have vacated them..
The media that is supposed to be the watchdog for the truth are the first to sacrifice truth at the alter of delusion.
The intellectual elites, though opened their mouth, what come out are devoid of objective rational…
They are like brutish plagued with imbecility.

Open your eyes and reasoning to see the travesty that’s staring you in the face
The line drawn is false. For before you is a political trickery…
This is nothing but one coin…..
So what you think are diametrically opposite is not so
but two sides of the same coin…

I suspect who ever wins come election day, would make no difference…
For there is one that always wins, the one that own the coin.
Ho the noise again…
I wish these fools will be quite, if only for a while, and let common sense prevail..
Ha, I almost forgot they’ve killed common sense…
