By Yusuf Salisu Muhammad

In day and Night
Even if
It rains Cats and Dogs

Even if
The weather has Changed
The Masses weep though
wars and starvations
bedeviling the townlets

Oh ! Oh ! Oh! Oh!
This is a dime a dozen
Oh ! Oh ! Oh ! Oh !

Day by day
Their daughters are being raped
Jewels or not
They pedestrianize to China
and wail million times before they could get a drop of water

It is the last Straw
Of the masses
For why
Their Godfathers pay no attention to their Wounds

Oh ! Oh ! Oh ! Oh!
Let us pray to get rid of these
Lest We face the Music
God Forbid!
