Poetry is a lifestyle. Its one of the ways I pour out my heart and share my thoughts. . In this poem below, I try to communicate how the Nigeria wahala began and what can be done to salvage this land. Enjoy it... THE RAPE OF A NATION She was brutally raped By beasts in human form. They came in armored vehicles With tinted glasses And official plate numbers. Some wore agbada, etibo and designer suit. They deceived her with their sweet tongues Telling her they want to show her love And she opened her door And welcomed them. They pounced on her And raped her one by one Without mercy. They downloaded their venom into her Alas! She is pregnant Oh! What a mess. A beauty queen cant walk head high again Because of shame. She sights a group of ladies Some in low cut hair Some covered their hair with gele And wore native attires They are mothers and nurturers she thought But they were civilized murderers. The murderers feast and party with the beasts Instead of coming to save her. They mock her with their scholarship in queens english. Her belly is fastly protruding What will she deliver? A combination of corruption, injustice, abuse of power and greed. We must save her now or face doom Lets give her anti-retrovirals And save her baby From the disease of the fathers She needs holistic recovery. Next time she must put on iron pant and be mindful who she opens her door for. © IFEANYI ENOCH ONUOHA helps individuals and organizations create better life, living and legacy with his sagacity and successity mentality.
