CRY MY BELOVED COUNTRY

Natural resources flows like river.

Barns of intellectuals.

Successful individuals in business world.

Intelligent officers who made marks internationally.

Talents in diversity.

Oceans of issues ravage.

We're in the ocean and soap is in our eyes.

The learned are laybacks.

The front burners are backbenchers.

How did we get here?

Who has blocked our views?

Corruption, banditry, kidnapping, rituals, robbery, religious and party affiliations.


How long shall we live on these?

 No! To status quo.

A wind of change!

To sweep like tsunami.

Yes! Like bang of gnats.

The Greeks are right.

No to idiots and tribes but yes to citizens.

 

Who are you?

An idiot, a tribesman or a citizen?

Attitude is everything.

You need reorientation.

Be patriotic, be obedient!
