Let the people declare the end of times,
But haven't you had enough?
When will you turn to face the oppressor?
Even with your backs against the wall;
Reality crept upon the wicked,
The ones that gloried in foolishness,
They hid the commonwealth for themselves,
Yet see how useless their hoard has become;
As the crown of thorns rips through them,
Man, woman, old and young,
They struggle, now, like their oppressed many,
In fear of dying, the cowardly false gods;
But the people are silent,
Cowed by years of servitude,
Everyone afraid of something,
Keyboard warriors in solitude;
This chance to press reset,
Take back your stolen destiny,
You see their weakened resolved,
Now, is the time, to rise as one!

There has never been a more opportune time that Nigerians could free their caged affairs. But will they?
All Nigerians do is sit behind keyboards, tapping out their frustrations.
But the times have presented a unique window to push down oppression, make extraordinary demands in extraordinary times, as COVID19 ravages the globe.
Knowing the arrowhead of oppression itself has been gifted this new coronavirus and nowhere to turn, presents a clear shot at the Nigeria of our dreams.
But will the people respond?
