BROKEN DEMOCRACY





On the news is billion of naira missing
Suffering and death in the north 
Everyday an innocent child is dying 
Teachers on strike, workers unsatisfied 

Children hawking on the street day and night
Solders suppressing the weak, police immoral
Lawyers and judges, callous and greedy
No social amenities to uplift the society 

Accusing fingers pointed to the masses
Infrastructures dead, roads dead, no electricity
The government sit on millions to deliberate our fate
Mock our trust, loyalty to selfishness trade

They tell us lies upon lies and broke our pride
Stole away our dignity and left the heart to fry
Yet the government betray the masses for asking why
 We live in a country with a broken democracy
