Titanic is Nigeria ( Spoken Word Poetry)

TITANIC IS NIGERIA

This ship is Titanic!

Politicians at top of the ship 

Enjoying 

Popping champagne,

No work, no sweat, living soft life.

You're the second class passengers at the second chamber

Suffering and smiling in the sunny days

With little or no space_ bodies gumming bodies in the crowded cities

Believing your reward is in heaven.

An in your slavery, you party, you drink, you oppress one another 

By packaging your poverty.

Believe me,

In this titanic nation

Of people using people

You the masses are the engine room of this titanic ship.

The more you pour the coal in the steam engine 

The more the ship keeps functioning

You are so important yet you don't know yet.

Your sweating keeps the nation afloat.

Your suffering keeps the nation living 

Your poverty keeps the nation rich

Without you, the nation is nothing.

That's why:

If you want to see, they will blindfold you.

If you want to reason, they will brainwash you.

If you want to talk, they'll silence you.

If you want to fight, they'll murder you.

Oh what a life!

Must these pharaoh keep enslaving his people to enjoy it pyramid?

Must these politicians keep enslaving the masses to cart away their national cake?

They empower you with 50000 naira while they loot your national reserve.

They pay you tiny salary while they share billions in one seating.

They build you fake roads while they fly in the air everywhere.

They promise you heaven on earth_ only to give you hell.

If this titanic one day sink in this ocean of governance, guess will be first to rescue?

Must these pharaoh keep enslaving his people to enjoy it pyramid?

Must these politicians keep enslaving the masses to cart away their national cake?

You need to stop jonzing! Im talking to you!

This nation is a titanic ship_ and seriously I want you to realise it.

Before it's too late.
