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!
