The Quest

He stands aloof in the streets

Gathering all to him it seems

With words as sweet as honey

He convinces them of his journey

 

And so with praise begins his quest

With words of wisdom at his belt

He sets off without a care

For he knows and had no fear

 

He sets off to a fearsome land

A land where lions fear to tread

And even eagles fly with dread

For here even the strong lose their head

 

He summons lightening from the sky

And thunder shakes the earth all day

With words like fire he battles through

With proper planning his dreams come true

 

And so with joy he ends his quest

Happy that he’s now the best

Triumphant now he journeys home

To the people he once gave hope

 

His people’s heart gladden with joy

Our hero will save us all

But the words he spoke before

He says he remembers no more

 

For so the road to power lies

In scheming, forgeries and in lies

For politics is a dirty game

And most who play it have no shame

 

When will our leaders speak the truth

When will peace and justice rule

When will Nigeria see the light

At the end of a tunnel darker than night
