CORRUPTION! HOW I HATE THEE By Wale Olajumoke Despite the fact that we know you are evil, Yet we left our doors wide open to you at any time ’t’ You have eaten deep into the nook & crannies of our beloved nation In government, you are there. Among the youths, you are popular, Even our religious leaders enjoy your company Many who claim to fight you ended up becoming your friend Many accuse you openly, Only to hear later, that they dine & wine with you. You have many names, yet you are always the same I know your secret. You thrive where there is greed, selfishness & lack of fear of God Where people regard loyalty above the truth It is easy to point fingers to people in power as your relatives, Forgetting that they came from us & many of us will act even worse If we were to be in their shoe. Only very few can beat their chest & say they have nothing to do with you (I hope am one of them) If only our government will lead us with sincerity & provide basic needs of the common man If only the religious leaders will call a spade - a spade irrespective of status or who is offended If only our society will begin to frown at injustice & stop celebrating people who acquire riches with fraud or unknown means If only families will chose to train their children the way they should go, frown at immoral behavior & lead by example If only our school system will teach character & not just vocabulary & calculations If only YOU & I, will make up our mind to agree with our conscience to stand for what is right, irrespective of who is doing wrong If only we will be contended with what we have & see success as something beyond just making money If only we can chose to stand alone instead of joining them that are already corrupt If only we can choose to damn the temporary pain we may have for upholding the truth, If only you will agree with me that both of us can overcome corruption if we chose, Then it wont be long before things will change for better. God bless you, God bless Nigeria Composed by Wale Olajumoke Wale Olajumoke ...adding value
