An Irony Plus Agony of Life in A Land Not Too Far Away.

I know of a country not far away
A country where hunters are the hunted
A country where the poor is at the mercy of the poor
A land where people celebrate thieves
A land where kidnappers are kings
A land where political thieves are given noble titles
A land where pigs are adorned in white raiment
A land where dogs are put in the nests
A land where birds are put in big wooden cages
I sure Know of a country in Africa
Where their leaders cannot think beyond food
The only time their leaders take decision is when they nominate clueless individuals for appointment
A land where we make mockery of God's blessing
A land where we go to church without genuine repentance
We yearn for miracle without paying the dues
We do our wishes leaving that of God undone
I do know a country in Africa.
I know a country in the best part of Africa
An old African giant
The economic bank of Africa
What happen to the glory days of free education?
When we made cocoa plantation our revenue source
When our anthem is sand with real passion
When we don't have to deny our identity to live in another entity
When we are willing to go all the way for our motherland
When our motherland has not become an hinterland
Our motherland is now a country behind
When shall we sing the song of victory
Victory from alms men called herdsmen
When shall we be freed from political pharaoh
When will our Israelites regain its freedom
I know a country not far away
Where everyday is laced with bloodbath
Where gunshots are heard without war
Where war songs are sang at the even of our independence
Where our flags are stained with massacre
Massacre of innocent souls
Innocent souls who wished the land more prosperity
I know a country not far away
Where all we know how to do is gone
And we are patiently waiting for what God we do
I know a nation where people are failing people
I know an hinterland
A city behind the city
