AWAKE GIANT | Owolusi Lucky

Piles of ugly coffins blocking the sun
From your garden. Will you rise O giants,
And tend your withering garden?

Short lived the great Anikulapo Kuti,
Shorter lived Yar'Adua a good comrade,
Longer lives the murderers of M.k.O.
O giant of Africa!
I am too short to plug your bleeding heart,
Your tears flood the Niger, Benue and Delta.
Your barren heart scourge in Borno,
Pillar foot shot in Niger-delta.
While wolves maul your offspring in your garden,
They spat on your giant frame around the world.
As your hands are tied to the North,
Your muscled heart dragged in the south,
They gorge your eyes in the East,
And the West chained your foot.
The vultures calls you lazy while they feed
On your meaty calves;
Piles of ugly coffins blocking the sun
From your garden. Will you rise O giants,
And tend your withering garden?
