Mr Jonah was sent to Nineveh He head out but took a detour Now in the belly of the beast.
Mr Jonah cannot change things overnight Says his town's men Who will Carry or move anything Without power? Obviously no one, so we need power They also said; That's not possible overnight.
Our palm oil is dry No groundnut oil to fry Nobody is buying our powerful oil Yet we have to sell before we boil If we don't sell something We will not eat anything.
Our children are misbehaving Is this the future we are saving? Will Mr Jonah build a place Full of tutors? Well,that's not possible overnight
Cows everywhere Is there no one to check these cows? Mr check cow is busy Burning our farms and farmers Mr Jonah cannot stop Mr check cow Not overnight.
365 days make a year How many years make an overnight? The writer coughs; 6 years makes one night.
Born into a dark night village Crawl disgustingly around the wood Flame glowing with annoyance Bowed by pained face of cruel looks Swings back, front, sideways No laughter but doom weather Hopelessness after others before
Questions abound in grim faces Will this be different or more of the same? Kids run around innocently in frenzy welcome Into their world of despair and pain Laughter for the sake of hopelessness Big brother arrives and name attractive ‘Been to' ‘go bring am hope' the mother wimps
Papa and mama wonder about ‘morrow Hopelessness must be conquered No more pain, no more sorrow School three miles in crushing sun ‘Gari' and groundnut in pockets Danger lurking in the corner But the storm inspires for ‘morrow
The journey seems long but hope not far When all rewind from the past of yore Triggered by that which was said of old Hope replaces despair and bitter, sweet It wont be long my brother Try hard folk and don't miss the price The pain is deep but the gain is here.
Just peel off You get a tasty banana Just peel off You get a spicy onion Just peel off You get a juicy beetroot Just peel off You get a nutty groundnut
So just peel off the bad And accept the good To keep yourself happy !
The intentions of the colour speak ill. As the designer weeps in tears The white is a filthy colour of all As the double green symbolises hunger.
The great groundnut pyramids stand as statutes. Termites scavenge the remnants. Who can stop the difficulties of the nation? A patriot, coward, cattle rustler or an alien!
The blood of the unsung heroes Colour the flag of the nation Bemoaning signs of failed leadership. Who led the actions of 10102020? The Camouflage, Alausa, Aso Rock or the Unseen forces!
Men suffer from avarice Crowd symbolises poverty Likening to the extortions of palliatives Under the framework of bureaucracy.
I am like the ground that contains minerals Which are expensive. I am like a groundnut in a shell
My thoughts are covered like an old Indian lady everywhere. My thinking is beyond the technology of nowadays
The dream I dream shines like the morning star The vibrant future is as bright as the sun,
Is this profanity? Perhaps it's the quality of being ****** This is the enthusiasm everyone wishes
But my best is not to be sculptor What's more imperative in me? To keep the word of God burning In the lost souls.
What's in side me is as wide as Zambezi river My heart has kept quotes of scriptures Which it has built me pillars to stand strong.
I am full of words... full of being proud whenever am not. Fighting to make my faith to be strong like concrete. Tick tack Time click Still looking for spear salvation
Am no longer feeling like a grease spoon around But my word sharp like the sword to fight against my enemies for not showing the green lightsWhat's inside me is roaring like the lion
The foot step I take is as tortoise So no more Algophobia! No more Taphophobia! No more Atychiphobia! That's what inside me...
