Twinkling

So we were told, Just like the Song we sang "Twinkle twinkle little star" But the stars are dim So we keep wondering And now, we are in a wander land You have right to vote and to be voted for But I can't remember the last time They used the count While we raise our voices in secret To speak our minds The only voice we hear is "This is Nigeria, get use to it" I don't believe in this, but we are living in it They make the rule and break They take the treasures to hides They make patrol with it All we do is to wave at their vans and say "They are eating our money" Even the one we thought would make the Change Wears his glasses to say " They are now in chains" They all come in like youths With their ages reduced Only to steal the goods And forget the youths Who are the pillars for real If the pillar is weak Then the house will fall! #Bitterbutbetter
