An Unsupplied Nigerian Family and Supplication

An unsupplied Nigerian family, Often cited in advisory homily And likened to the ones in Galilee, Though unable to mark its Golden Jubilee, To God began a supplication, Veritably a formal letter application For an easier catching of Daily Bread That often made it see red: The 2024 African Cup For Nigerian Hands to lift up… Now and again, Ear-Splitting Amen But mostly by its men: One of them writer of leaflet Hoping to jump to a pamphlet His own ‘Amen’ a much powerful belief In its sure wonderful relief… And for being The often intensive, Always to A Devil The Subversive: Its hour a thing far-off ears could predict, An hour that could never them contradict… A Nigerian family With its goat lost, A Billy Might still weep after a homily. To which The Best was a simile.
