THE CRUCIBLE.

by dadaolowoeyo

Grinding, grinding, grinding, Held by the hand of fate, Around the dimming of faith, When hope is difficult to operate in; There is visible resistance at play, The pestle strains, demands to be held tightly, Unyielding stones protest vehemently, Progress is hard, fine result ages away; Everything is working in opposition, Nothing is lending support in the other direction, Many months after an emotionally charged election, Very little is left to the imagination; But something must give, Now, or later, The former, better, All in, all in! Live!

Notes

Nigeria is evolving right before our very eyes!

After eight years of terrible governance, the present administration is saddled with reversing at great speed then doing the most incredible 180° in modern history to face the right direction.
