Imagine Nigerians

Imagine Nigerians saying what they really know
Every word found in their dictionary
No borrowing, no addition or subtraction
Everyone stay in line when the lights go red
Like ripe cherry…

Imagine Nigerians focus on the white side of the flag
And make a living, cultivating the green side
With faces writing happy things on air
I mean, who would not mind a bit of fresh air
When we all vary…

Twists and turns, truths and lice
If we all can take a slice
Know each others place
Like a regular visitor
Just maybe, we would live our imaginations.
