Nation inundated with many resources <br />Obnoxious Politicians turn them to curses <br />Fleet of cars with no roads <br />Houses in-city, nobly, rats occupy <br />Children under-seven hawk <br />Struggle for transport, trampled; <br />Smashed under cars’ feet <br />Traffic jam drains brains’ oxygen <br />Intelligence repudiated by suffering <br />Little sicknesses cause demise <br />As giant ones wipe out our race <br />In hunger, we face daily challenges <br />Still export food to disaster-struck <br /> <br />Look at them in their ‘Agbada’ <br />Lavish of fabric far enough for four kids, <br />Whom nudity accompanies down the streets <br />In their mobile rooms, well-suited, AC humming <br />Eyes parading landscape of spread sheets <br />Loud speakers whisper sweet tunes <br />Lulling them to more anti-laudable acts <br /> <br />Is this how we live? <br />Strive to survive, die deprived? <br />We wish for a good dish <br />Fend for and factor fair future for tomorrow <br />We are famished for fairness, equity and justice.<br /><br />Kctony Xtopher Nkwocha<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-how-we-live/
