SAVE YOUR OFFSPRING, MOTHER LAND
By Rev. Fr Linus Akali Ihebirinachi
It’s another midnight
Though faint, not the darkest night
Only the brightest of this nightlight
The colors and rays of the moonlight
So has become the ordeal of our nights
Worst when not time for moonlight
The horrors of the darkness
Coupled the cries of the helpless
People rendered homeless
Crying and panting yet helpless
While many of their beloved lie lifeless
But I call you mother of all
Not too late , no not late at all
To call to know why you fall
So heavily not to raise at all
To the tears and weeping of all
Can’t forget you for once
Brace up your voice
To shun this menace
That murder sleeps from the eyes
Of these offspring in their innocence
O my darling Motherland
Who has bruised you so profound
That you pant and weep hard
Without a moment of joy to find
Even with all these blessings you had?
Who created such vacuum in your heart
That you always fill it with blood
Swallowing the very Offspring you bored
In an everyday murder of cold blood
Without caring your hands are stained with blood?
Why swallow your offspring ?
Why dents and stains even when you live in spring?
Why marks indelible and dirty
That you’re toiling and daunting in vain
Without any positive point to stress
I called to check on you mother
But wish nemesis don’t hold on you further
Give me the reason to sleep any longer
When all your response are fiercer
And all you do is to bring hunger
Give me the reason to clap and giggle
When you made strangers your name to ridicule
Oh Nigeria, my motherland visit the goggle
And see your fame no longer noble
No matter all positive efforts yet we struggle
Reclaim your full of power and abilities
You have all the capacities
You are full of creativities
Your manuscript shows originality
If you can save your people’s potentialities
You can reach your capabilities
I will call you again
But I wish some sense you gain
Learn to shred your own grain
And never to make your people the prey
And the respect and true growth you'll gain
And forever you’ll reign.
