A JOKE TO NIGERIA

Silently I am sliding in to the mud
silently I'm being slaughtered and tied down
But they sit in their mansions with notions
They say I'm fine even with arrows in me
Silently I'm fading away with no rescue
Oh God save me! I'm a joke to Nigeria

A joke they say it is
They walk with body armors and crowns of pride.
But i'm Left to die in their caused pains
My life now a tedious assignment to save
My child awaits my arrival at home
But I'm caged in a murder land
Yet still seen as a joke to Nigeria

Nigeria the murder land
Nigeria the fear of all
Nigeria the land of blood and bones
We are being scavenge everyday
Bodies ripped apart and littered
The fear grows up and strong
But I still wonder why I'm a joke to Nigeria
Save us all oh Lord for the debts can't be paid

The voice of the innocent can still be heard silently
Their cry still silently loud at night
Some wish they appeared differently
But truth be told, we'll victims of Nigeria
What a joke they see us as!!!
Even in death we still owe a debt
A debt to resist torture and pains
A debt to act and speak out
A debt to save a generation
So help us God!!
