Democracy Day Poem by Oluwatobi Olaide

Analysis

Demons are crazy on their own, when a demon goes crazy then there is chaos.

The demon in this context are leaders during the military era

The era of civilian government gave birth to crazy demons

On a day like this they (demons)celebrate a transition, they have used people's lives as a playground, ruining it and making it look like we are the cause of our predicaments (lazy Nigerian youth)

On a day like this, I wish the mini tree (military)was still in power instead of leading us to false freedom, leaving people to cry in pains till they become so weak they accept their fate and do nothing but cry to sleep or do other things that satisfiestheir incapacitation.

This pain became so much in people's heart they look for soothing relief to take their mind off the pains like Drugs, concerts, comedy shows, movies, religions and likes. These becomes our Savior from the pain till it becomes an addiction. We all have an addiction right?

Today they speak of their achievements like it has changed our lives knowing it hasn't we wake-up to listen to what they had to say this morning (speech)on TV, radio...

We hear too much on a day like this

Today we celebrate the day these demons went crazy.

Isn't this Worth celebrating?

Happy demon crazy day people. Tell your neighbor lol.
