By Nehi Igbinijesu.
Silhouettes from another life
A people removed from problems
Absorbed far with themselves
Amnesia saturated
And away from the crowd
No police, landlords or NEPA
No headliners,no crashes
And no political mischievers
Wait o! No curfews
State of emergencies
And slicky oil shippers
No dealt opened dams
With handshakes that spoil
Tots of dreams
No raped damsels
And sons flood furtive
No lockjams,
Fewer disagreements
More money, less troubles
Utopia finally arrived
Then tap, tap
The fingers demand
“Come back to the wicked world”
Guy, wake up!
