******* Another Typo love *******
Love...
Now when you hear that word, what comes to mind...
.. A strong feeling of affection for someone...?
A great interest and pleasure in something...?
Is love a choice made for gains that await
Or maybe a law which you dare not break?
Well, None of these comes close to what i have for her,...
Strange as it may sound,
I love her... But not that typo love
Much as i don't want to,... Lord knows,
Even though she has been through lots of woes...
Cursed with this blessing, its no secret
EVEN HER BLACK HISTORY REVEALS IT SHE,
IS still the ENVY of her peers,
long After these backward years
Maybe that's why she seems indifferent, i mean,
Who could blame her...
MOLESTED by family,- EXPLOITED by those TRUSTED to protect her,
Which is Why it remains a mystery,
How she still stands with pride till this day, when neighbors, who sipped from same cup were
Swept away... ....
Now She, prides herself
In the death scars she survived, which is why
Every October 1st is Happy Survival because it reminds her
Of how far she has come, even though Uncertain of the road ahead - she is ready for the ride
And yes, she may not be the wealthiest, ... but she's blessed, which is why,
Even in the midst of recession she go on recess ... and finds a reason to smile..
Little wonder record suggests SHE is the earth's happiest...
But i get sick .... hearing repeated tales, of her ''good Old Days"
Painting her in faded shades,
I love her but.. do not be deceived
If i had my way, don't think I won't leave,
Because i cannot stand to watch her bleed
Neither have my seed pay for Strange sins..
And Does she love me back..?
Please do not ask...
This is no separation cos,
No matter how far i roam she,
Is a Home my heart knows ... She is my Country,
NIGERIA...
And i love her... But!
NOT THAT TYPO LOVE...
