Our London in Africa
Behold the the giant of Africa on kukuruku's hill
Few hours ago, I slept without taking a pill
After a seven and half day of lockdown
Denying us an access to downtown

Behold a country where all live in tranquillity
Leaders with a great sense of accountability
Dawn and dusk of economic stability
Jake said "This vision is getting blurry"
I questioned " For how long are we going to live in penury?"

Religious sentiment, where hath thou?
I will go the land of no return, thou hath vowed
Together with you, corruption
So that all will live without affliction

Nobody would deny the sweet taste of our national cake
They also merry. the creatures in our lake
High standard of academic quality
And a low quality of inequality

Sneezed, as I inhaled the fume from my neighbor's generator
Get your chores done, granny whispered
And get your food from the crisper
So, all I had was a dream of our London in Africa
We await the man who will make it come through in our own land
So that the labour of our heroes past will not be in vain.
