What's The Way Forward?

A country with everything is lacking in most things
Isn't it surprising that we lack the things we are blessed with the most?
Mismanagement, greed and selfishness has eaten to our core
We bleed and sweat greediness even from our pores
The country is rich yet the average person cannot even boast
No one can boast of anything of worth as poverty looms in the street
The son of a king wear rags across the street
The daughter of a meat seller eats the bones
The major producers of oil live in penury
How did we get to this point? Greed and selfishness, that's it
What's the way forward, a lot of people asked
Until the power of love overrides the love for power we can't go anywhere
Until we have curbed greed and selfishness
Until we have people with foresight and leadership skills
Until we have people with ability to serve without hidden intents
Until we reduce mismanagement and plan with purpose
I'm afraid there is no way forward for this country called Nigeria
We can't have so much and still lack so much
It's a slap on our faces and we need to do better

Cheers.
