Of Tears, Sweat & Blood : A Nigeria Election Poetry
(Edited)
SourceTears of joy when we heard
Our sorrow has finally come to an end
A new leader, a father and patriarch friend
"Go and verify my record" he said
We believe, ready to vote this time
But the enemies lurk behind BVAS
Ready to hurt our democracy
Arise O Compatriot, Nigeria is calling you
Obey.
...
...
Sweat, heavily expecting a result
Shadows of failures lingers
They planned rigging
Our sweat will tell
Not anymore will our voice be silenced
This is my country
I have no where to go
My sweat will speak of a POssible Nigeria
My toil is eager for a bloodshed free nation.
...
...
Blood, this is thicker than family water
Our heroes past shed there's
Its my turn, ill do mine
For i am a nigeran
My birth is here, this is my motherland
I am going nowhere
Our stands stand, we want a new nation
And that we shall get
For Nigeria shall be great again
So we wait.

Good day.
It came out of the situation in my country.
We just did a presidential election.
This is really good. I can feel the emotion behind what you're writing and the fact that you care a great deal about your country comes through very clearly. While most of us are writing about "fantasy" or things we create in our minds, this is actually the world you live in right now. Thank you for sharing the thoughts that I'm sure many of your country men and women are having right now. This certainly deserves to be permanently added to the blockchain for future people to be able to come back and read. Well done!
Not this one will be added to Blockchain for future.
Maybe I'll seat and properly write a good one.
This one was written out of grief and the situations on ground. Hot as it is.
My head is calm a little now.
