Even when others reject you
I will always be there for you
Because I pledged my allegiance to you
I believe in your existence
I trust your ability
Even when the going was getting tough
You firmly remained stronger than ever
Many rain had fell and sun had risen many time
Many ethnic clashes had visited you
Many threat of breaking up
But you still remained firm
And that makes you a unique country
Despite all the misfortunes
You still forge ahead and seek for fortunes
Despite all political unrest
That arrests your daily governmental activities
Despite the economical instability
That derailed your ability as a nation
Despite all forms of hatred from outside world
That painted you red and a no-go area
You are still surviving as a nation
You re the best among the rest
It is only some people with greediness
That want to bring you unhappiness
You re healthy before they began their unhealthy activities
And they sucked your treasury
Just as babies suck their mother breast
And yet, you did not dry
They brought corruption into your system
And you had been suffering from it for ages
They brought mal-administration into your affairs
And this had been the genesis of all your tribulations
I hope you fight back one day
And bring sanity to your system
Your worries will soon be over
Your wounds will soon be healed
The end will come to your sufferings
And you shall one day stand up and fight for yourself
Then; you shall be walking and not crawling again and again.

Writer Profile
Adeyemi Adisa
When I examine myself, I see writing as the only way to express my thoughts and have been wasting no time, however little, in ensuring that I express myself. This is an inspirational thought, potentially instilled in each and everyone of us, but the ways we express ourselves is the difference. I hope to meaningfully make use of most of my time and positively share my thoughts with others. You can check out my site (www.yemmmmy.co.nr) for more of my articles and poems.

"Then; you shall be walking and not crawling again and again."
You put it well. That's our hope and aspiration and someday we'll get there.
