There's no time than now,
That this country needs a rebirth,
All of the old must die,
To give life to a new beginning;

We just cannot continue like this,
Those dinosaurs have caused enough harm,
They've destroyed well enough,
Turned a bad situation irreversibly worse;

Thus a decaying of all the old ways,
An accelerated putting to death,
All religious bigoted acts of stupidity,
Tribal or ethnic jingoistic anomie;

A nation is coloured by its leader,
Unfortunate if such were defined,
By the idiosyncrasies of religious,
Or backward ethnosocial beliefs;

We are were we are,
Where we're not well,
Wherein we were,
Whereas were we where;

Thus it makes sense to gather,
The lot of these analogue invertebrates,
Offer them a life in exile somewhere,
Where the sun will never shine.
Nigeria must do away with the crop that defined it's sixty-year existence, for it is clear they cannot be part of the next sixty.

Let them that have any sense at all, reason.

Given the things we see during this global COVID19 pandemic local response, it is vivid, even to the visual impaired that the people unfortunate to be at the helm font have a clue.

The year twenty-twenty is a defining curve. Where we to miss redrawing our fate, then all has been lost.
