Nigeria Sails Poem by ObiGod Chidi CC

NIGERIA SAILS (SONNET)
Like a big black ship on the sea we sail,
Towards the greener pasture, we won't fail.
A captain like Joshua is all we need
To cross Jordan, crews must take heed.
Fight the corruption that beats as a storm,
In unity we can eradicate the endemic worm.
God has blessed our nation with a resource,
Let the Sailors stay connected to the Source.
All hands must be on deck
That our citizenship will not wreck.
Let's war against the insurgent pirate
By standing on our just canon to legislate.
For a good voyage focus not on selfish play;
To keep on an even keel, we must pray.


The system isn't corrupt but the system users.
How neat it'll be when elected the flushers.
Class in the mass makes us all not equal
Yet we all are great in our place of call.
White ships may land first and settle
Despite the wave, we paddle with strong mettle.
Our patriotic promised land awaits us to enter.
For a free slave will one day become a master.
If with honesty the officers do their stuff
Then no Juggernaut drum will blow us off.
As the trumpet of the wise watchmen blow
Surely in good course we all will flow.
Famous were those who paid the price.
Great will be those that make the sacrifice.
