Though the bough is broken,
The leaves are crisp, dry and fallen
The rain refuses to cascade
And the sands into the wind fade
causing the eyes pain, untold
and tears come ten-fold.
Though our cattle is thin with hunger
‘cos the resources to feed it are yonder
The bright days are darkened by vultures
Waiting for the death of nature,
thinking they’ll eat of its bottom.
not knowing it’s only autumn.
Though the greenery, now we miss.
Seed and harvest will not cease.
We are the colors of existence,
green fro good earth, white for good heavens
If these words are correct,
Greener days are imminent,
God bless Nigeria
