1. Nigeria
If there is egwu eke
There must be the drummer
Or the flutist
Where there is a dance there must be a song
Who is the musician to whose beat
The python is dancing?
The crocodile please
My gaping jaws and fearsome teeth
Never mean I smile
No matter how hard my stinking efforts with
Dirt-crusted teeth
Who says the crocodile smiles or is this a search for flesh to rip?
Whose beat demands a dance?
Whose dance demands a smile?
To question the wisdom of beasts of the forests and of the creeks
The hunted must pause to unravel
When infantries turned into reptiles
No cocky croc grimace
No wiggly cobra twists
Demilitarize
Now!
2. Africa
Drumbeats drowned
by merchant gunboats
Exploited
Partitioned with a ruler
Rigged with sit tight rulers
Fragmented
Sucked
Sapped
Dried
Burnt
Exposed to subhuman bondage
Time to pushback
Merge the sub nations
One Africa
No cocky croc grimace
No wiggly cobra twists
Demilitarize
Now!
Wow
And i never knew the poetic side of my director
A man with so much to give out
This is amazing sir
