Upside down

Upside down by Adejola Joseph

Confusion in the air

Rage, anger, acrimony and animosity

Things have fallen apart

The centre cannot hold anymore

Upside down

What do we do?

Where do we go to? 

I see people running helter skelter

Tears lending all eyes to pour 

Children scattered on the streets like a kite in the air

Mothers ranting

Fathers nagging

Sisters carrying a bucket instead of a spoon

Confusion rage and anger in the air

Upside down

Everything has turned upside down

Economy is not smiling

Naira is now worthless

Hunger is still biting

Aggression is still barking

Where are we going to?

The country is still sleeping

Upside down

Everything has turned upside down

We need a change to sail

We need a hand to rise 

We need a shoulder to mount

We need a leader to lead 

Nigeria will rise

But we have to rise

The leader and the led must rise

It is time to soar for a greater Nigeria

Upside down

Everything has turned upside down

Nigeria. 

My message of hope for my country Nigeria. Professor Adejola Joseph. An award winning poet from Osun State Nigeria. Author of Cracks On The Walls (poetry) 2022.
