'My country, my cross''

“MY COUNTRY, MY CROSS”




Oh! My beloved country

Flowing with honey and milk

Yet! We drink our tea without honey or milk

My country blessed with abundance wealth

Yet! We beg for cowries to spend

My country full of wisdom

Kept in the crafted calabash

Like tortoise, greedy and cunning

Yet! We seek wisdom abroad

Oh! My beloved country

Once blossom in agricultural culture

Now a legendary and a history

Her tractors fallow and abandon

Her hoes and cutlass, long forgotten

My country, pregnant with natural resources

Scattered over her soil in countless number

East, West, North and South

Yet to be tapped

Oh! My beloved Country

Blessed with abundance homosapien

Agile, versatile and expertise

Uncared for, untapped and untamed.

But chooses to seek expatriate abroad

We choose to buy what is free

All for greed and selfish needs.

I weep aloud for my country’s future

As each sunlight and moonlight

Passes by me in exile where I reside

Where tax is like daily bread

Paying as you earn without excuse

Through, the work and the wages commensurate

Reason you struggled to remain in exile

Back at home, you may not pay tax

But, the work and wages are in chaos

Working for months without being paid

These and lots more go wrong at home

Politically you are unsafe

Economically, you are in trouble

Socially, you are in danger

Ritual killing and robbery attacks

Corruption, assassination and extortion reigns

Like kings and queens in diamond palace

A war is not won by running away

In spite of all odds at home at present

East or West, home is still the best

My country, my cross I know

Let’s join hands to carry our cross.

Like the biblical Jesus.

Bore his cross at Calvary

Hmm!World, full of misery. Thought from subconscious. Can you crack the rack? I hope to start from the beginning, but the beginning starts from the end, this left me wondering "y".How can you place this?"Extreme Heat to Snow, then to etreme Heat and Snow,then to etreme Cold [Snow].
