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

THE END OF DAYS

As the world's coming to the end of her days
Heaven weep upon God's efforts to savage man
The cloud heavily burdened by the sins of man
As man seeks refuge in the gates of hell 

Angels walk amidst the day restoring God's will for mankind
Yet the world is dissatisfied, drowning in ecstasy of selfishness and greed
Pleasured in destruction and content in lust
Worshiping in vanity of an unjust life

Time is too short to sleep
The night's waxing away gradually in the heart
Life bear no love, no faith, no hope, for all will be gone
And everyman judged, out of the content in his heart

TIME

Who stole away time? 
I seem to have lost track of time 
Can't find dreams seeking for
Don't know where I am 

Please can you give me back my time?
I just want to find the things that makes me happy 
Live in a world encircled with hope 
And blessed with love 

Where I can find angels walking by 
Trees planted and roses watered 
With all the time I have in the world 
Appreciated and treasured
