Green words of healing,
Spoken since before time borne,
Enemies knew but not revealing,
Blinding powers like the amazing sun.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2019
But for the greed of men,
Would our spirits have floundered?
Daily robbed by the looter's pen,
May we have been plundered?
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2019
Better late than not,
The long, drawn night,
Full of agonising fright,
Will not be our continued lot.

Anger mixed with fear,
Is recipe for frustration,
One screams revolution!
And the other turns a deaf ear.
Dada Olowo Eyo Sep 2019
From a region of blinding light,
To a state of lightning blindness,
All gone quickly out of sight,
As brutish power is only hidden weakness.

Mass hysteria, a sea of cudgels,
With one mind, they rush forward,
Bearing down on the unfortunates,
That went in search of greener pastures.
Many foreigners, especially of African origin, have become puck targets for randy south africans on a **** of violence and mayhem. Thee xenophobic attacks may have sinister backing from top hierarchy I government that have been recorded on camera siding what could be termed 'foreign cleansing'.
Nigerians are top on the list of targets because they've been accused of snatching girlfriends to stealing business opportunities. Also, they have accussed nigerians of runing the largest drug cartel in their country.

But in a show of nonchalance, the federal government of nigeria has pretended not to have heard or seen the agonising, horrific & bloodcurdling jungle justice meted out on nigerians & nigerian-owned businesses.

It's sad that Nigerians are killed at home and abroad like inconsequential breathing apparatuses. SADLY SHAMEFUL.

Better times are with us,
That fresh green lawn,
Is right here before us,
For it is darkest before the dawn.
