When I was five
I was transparent
I wore my heart on my sleeve
I told everyone what I thought
To have them guffaw
And roar in laughter
When I was twelve
I was translucent
They could see bits of me
They would try to decipher me
But they would never see the full picture
The clear image
Of who I was
Now I am sixteen
I am opaque
Nobody knows who I am
I can hide my emotions
Behind an icy cold mask
I have pulled the shutters
To the windows
That were transparent for so long
If I had the might,
I would bring Nigeria back into the light.
I will do my best,
And never ever rest.
I will end the fighting
And give everyone back their rights.
I will make Nigeria a better place,
And that mission I must ace!
I will change generations,
And life shall be a celebration.
I will drive poverty away,
O what a happy day.
I will stop drug abuse by the youths.
And give them better pursuits.
I have a world in sight,
Where everyone shines bright.
Even though the darkness is giving us a fright,
Look inside your heart and you will discover you’re a bright light.
Roses are red
violets are blue
sorry I don’t have
a poem for you.
I hear this song sung today,
It sounds not too far away,
I follow the song sung gracefully,
I follow the song sung flowingly,
I follow the song sung harmonised,
I follow the song sung today.
Africa
Africa is
Africa is a
Africa is a huge
Africa is a huge continent
Africa is a huge continent with 55 countries
Once there was a bear called Norman
who loved honey.
He really, really, really loved it
and he was always sad when
it ran out.
But getting hold of more honey was a bit… tricky.
