ABUJA DEMOLITION

I wish I could turn back the hand of time
To those days we are together

I wish the earth could revolve again
I wish the earth could rotate again
And brought us together again

So that we can continue what we have started
So that we can end what we have started in peace

With the demolition you came
We met saw and began

But we did not end till we were separated
By the demolition to different separate world

Abuja demolition
See what you have caused
See what you have done
See what you have made me to lost

If I can

If I can,
I'll walk with the road of Moses,
Strike the sea to walk on dry land,
Hit the stone to get cool clean water.

If I can,
I'll build my house on a glassless sky,
With tune of souls to keep me going,
And the galaxy of heavens to light my path.

If I can,
I'll turn the earth into a Garden of Eden, Where men can commune with God and all creatures, And live in complete bliss without sweating.

TIME WILL COME

Don't look down on me
Children of my mother
For it was the look of the sun
That turns my skin to black

Don't despise me
Children of my father
For it was due to the creation
That turns me into this race

Because
I've no saying among you
I've no place in our home
You've turn me to a slave
A guard to your properties

But one thing I know
Time will come
When men will not be judge
By colour of the skin nor
The race one comes from

But by the
Power of the brain
The capacity of the mind
And the manifestation of thinking
And reasoning

Time will come
When black will be equal to white
The poor will feed the rich
The blind will lead the sighted
And the dumb will speak for the speaker

NIGERIA AT FIFTY

Arise o' compatriot
Let raise our banner
Let raise our flag

Fly high our flag
Let our flag flap all over
For our freedom have reechoed

Let Green White Green
Fill the sky earth and mind
And be aflame in jubilation

I pledge to Nigeria
To be faithful loyal and honest
The labour of our heroes must not be in vain

Nigeria
My pride
Good people great nation

Nigeria at fifty
God bless Nigeria
God bless Nigerians
