Enough is Enough! Let's Stop this Violence!!

Enough is Enough

I hope for a day in my father's land

When I hold my head high up in the sky

And be proud to be called Nigerian.

I hope for a day in my mother's land

When I'll be treated equally

By my neighbours next door.

I hope for a day in my place of birth

When I can go up north

Without fear of my life.

A day when my fellow brothers

Would discover the purpose of their existence

And drop their arms in reminiscence

A day when we'll all leave the batthe field

To return to the fruitful field

And sow seeds of national development.

A day when the pot-bellied men

Would return to their farms

And their canoes.

I hope for a day

The colour of my skin

Would not matter to my people

On that day,

My religion would barely be noticed

On that day,

My foreign alma mater wouldn't matter

On that day,

There would be hope for all

That day would put an end to violence

And corruption.

A day we'll all say

Shalom!

 

Let's stop the violence and live in peace.
