A BURNING CIGARETTE

Nigeria is a burning cigarette.
She diminishes with regrets.
The nation contemplates suicide.
In sorrow, she constantly confides.

She's a haunted mansion.
Agony armed with passion.
Horror plays hide and seek.
Sadness with a confidence to speak.

Self- inflicted tireless terror.
Reincarnation of enormous errors.
Our leaders smoke with greed...
a cigarette of a quality breed.

The electorates are the ashes;
victims of several cruel clashes.
Helpless in the hands of despair...
A wounded hope without repairs.

The Government smokes on.
Obviously, she is having fun.
An ashtray of anguish...
perpetually we languish.
