TEST FOR PROTEST (HUNGER IS STRONGER)

I see placards like swarm of locusts on the first day of August.

I see people on the street

Walking in the sun on bare feet.

I see them in the marketplace

Holding hands with their neighbour matching from place to place.

"Enough is Enough" is the mantra

We can not continue to take "shit" from these mindless leaders.

Say No to Bad Governance 

Their ineptitude has crushed our tolerance.

We have leaders who lack empathy but feed fat on our collective sweat and throw senseless parties. 

Yet hunger is ravaging the land,

But their supporters are paid to salvage their evil political brand.

Hunger is stronger;

But i see the common man profuse and confused

Their attention hijacked and diffused.

I see tears in their eyes, falling like rain drops from the sky

I see Babylonian in Zion, striking hot the cold iron,

Tearing down flesh like a hungry lion

Actualizing their evil plans of aeon.

On his selfish mandate, they chose a candidate.

With their wicked ways it was a manipulated date.

But no more fears on people’s faces

They are ready to take back what belongs to them.

Yet the government thinks it’s just a storm in a tea cup.

Even with their thugs and traditional oro-cults, 

This hunger protest, we shall never boycott.

Hunger is stronger;

Yet, i see their leaders as the highest bidder.

The so-called senators are nothing but a bunch of predators

I see them in the lower chamber

Throwing words at each other with hot temper

Assembled in the ad hoc house,

Just to taste the cheese like Mickey Mouse

They are making policies for us to see

But their minds are corrupt, waiting to launder money overseas

Not the EFCC or ICPC can stop them

Cus those are agencies too blind to see them.

We are being given concoction for abortion

Investigation is their language in ugly situations

What else could it be but corruption.

They are all crooks; even the few with integrity are disappointing

This is a bate to cook.

Hunger is Stronger;

The situation of the nation has turned abomination.

Removal of subsidy has brought about jeopardy 

The cost of living is now killing the living,

The living must survive, so protest is a given.

Yesterday, both hunger and poverty married themselves,

Made the houses of the common man their residence.

To eat now has turned luxury, 

Most men and family are living in penury. 

In Nigeria, everyday homes are being destroyed

To the grave, great destinies are deployed.

We need to redeem the days because it’s full of evil. 

Making up for the mistake of past elections by being civil.

Let the poor breathe, he lied.

But a mindful breath this period does wonders for the soul. 

Lets all take a deep breath, 

Inhale peace, exhale happiness and focus on what is important. 

Please don't Suffocate us Jagaban

Cus" only those who know how to breathe will survive in your regime.

These Politicians are all Babylonians in Zion,

Tearing down our fleshs like a hungry lion.

I see hustling and bustling in fear

I see a government that doesn’t care

They are serving us concoction for abortion

Corruption has eaten deep into our dear Nation.

Hunger is indeed stronger, hopelessness birth chaos. 

Give us light, good roads and water, good governance is what we deserve

The youths need good jobs, tired of eating only bread and butter.

We need economic security, let this hardship stop

Tell it loud; tell it to the man on top.
