UP NEPA

 

a mantra we all chorus with joy 

forgetting how stupid we look 

the government has left us all in penury and pain 

here we are, dirging on an empty stomach 

a chaff we have become 

insignificant before our oppressors 

they stare at our blood and call it zobo 

kai! how stupid and gullible we all are 

we pray always to our oppressors 

still wish them well as they govern us 

what good can come out of evil?

a glorified incompetence In celebration 

they care not, only their wants 

amassing wealth for foreign accounts 

still they sit at a round table at their conclave and say 

“the loot is ours, we shall die on this throne”

fools celebrating their follies 

dunderhead announcing their prestige 

we shall soon celebrate your misfortunes 

one by one, you shall be celebrated at the guillotine

we’ve wasted our pen inks enough 

our clubs and sticks are crying for thirst

you so much believe in your security guards 

just like a free kick, our ball shall penetrate your wall

please, repent not abeg 

the said hour of reckoning is at hand 

you will cry but see no tears 

we shall rejoice as we feast on your flesh
