I HAD A VISION

I had a vision that mankind will climb higher in his endeavors

A heart of a mansion that Nigerians will be ruled by a just man

I had a vision that someday there will be change

A drastic change that no man can influence

I had a vision that everyman will go back home

To the life we once had, filled with good memories and hope

I had a vision that our economy will be the best in Africa

I had a vision that every child will enjoy good health care

Every girl child will have provisions to education

I had a vision that the pains Nigerian's once had

Will be taken away and smile restored back in our lives

I had a vision that the war we once fought

Will be won due to love, unity, peace and long suffering

I had a vision that many Nigerians will see no reason to want to travel abroad

There will be so much wealth, businesses will prosper and there will be creation of jobs

I had a vision that the labor of our heroes past

Will be justified by everyman's will is right to fight

I had a vision that our rail system will work again

And someday our electricity will be restored

I had a vision that injustice will no longer be tolerated

That the cost of living will be stabilized

And every woman will find her man

I had a vision that there will be reconstruction of the roads

Disease and sickness eradicated from our homes

Agriculture will be fruitful, animals healthier

I had a vision that a man will walk out late at night with ease

That the police will curb the crimes with sincerity

I had a vision of a time when we will walk in the rain and not get wet

That we will all live in a perfect world where there will be no regret

A world where our common interest will be protected

A world where there will be no negative stories told

Stories of death, cruelty and sadness
