Why can’t we share in our nation's wealth?
Why is it so difficult to enjoy our fundamental right?
Why is it the poor and innocent that always get sentenced to
jail?
Why must we go on strike for the government to understand our
pain?
How many brother needs to die, don’t we deserve good health
care?
How long must we serve our country Nigeria?
Yet our parents queue at the pension office for months to
get paid
Must we cry, lament, mourn or regret
For the many death in the grave cruelly judged due to
injustice
What happened to our mineral resources extracted?
Yet our community leaves in sham for decades
Must we kidnap expatriate to view our grief
Must we vindicate pipe lines to get government attention?
What happened to our roads and electricity?
Why do we have to go to war and shared tears?
To understand the importance of peace
What about our youths, don’t they deserved a job?
Must we always ask for what we need from our government?
What about our children, don’t they need education?
How bad does our road need to get before they can be repaired?
How long will million Nigerians continue to live in abject poverty?
When politicians travel everyday abroad for holiday
What about us the common man struggling on the street?
Don't we have a say of a good life to live?
