THE NEW NIGERIA

We were taught about election - free and fair;
When we heard, the entire class hoped beyond evident despair,
That when it got to our turn to cast our desired votes
Things would be already right then.
Little did we know:
Behind the scenes,
Someone was planning to reap where he didn't sow.

We loved, and cheered, and hailed,
The times we heard those fake promises
Which were only mere hypothesis - theories.
Afterwards, there were only little or no practicality;
Sadly,
Tribalism, racism, religious clashes and so much but a few, came to play.
Until the voice of reasoning emerged today!
