I saw it again
The bullying van
On pretty Friday noon
In the street of fatherland
Filled with cruel images
Dressed in uniform
And heavy boots
All armed to fit,
Drag the voices
In the street chanting
Freedom, freedom
Freedom for our son
Freedom for all,
To a great dungeon
Where hunger, whipping and beating
Smile daily in coalition
Listen, listen up
Can’t you hear it?
The voices of babies
Left to feed with
Quinine and tears
Morning, noon and evening
The tears now roll
Like a falling rain
In search of
The caged pot of milk
In the monster’s ship
The mothers in cell
Are mothers to a nation
The agony of mothers
Is an agony of a nation
The molestation of mothers
Is molestation to a nation
The slap to mothers
Is a slap to a nation
The tears in mothers
Are tears of a nation
See it and feel it
If not wicked then what?
Hear it and judge it
If not slavery, is it righteous?
Know it, speak against it,
Then you are just
Now is time
To look in, not away
Time to call a spade by name
Time to kiss justice
And slap injustice
Time to live and let live
Oh….yes,
Before mercy
Separate from heart
Waves cross the red sea
Burning flame escalates
From palace to mansions
And everyone
Tastes the heat and the burns
Because a beast surely
Will succumb to its
Master’s whip
And visitors surely
Will leave the land for the owners
And the owners surely
Will take over the land
Land of Biafra
Land of the rising sun
Save Biafra women
Support Biafra referendum
