NIGERIA @ 55


She has grown so fast
From childhood to adulthood
Now she is mature
With little wrinkles and
Strands of grey hair
The journey to this age hasnt been easy
She has fought so many battles...
Tribalism, nepotism,religious wars and the likes
This is typical of a mother with many children
Some are from the north, others south, east and west
With diverse culture, language and religion
She has been in the struggle of uniting them thus far
A mother of mothers
Nigeria has proven itself strong
At 55, she stands firm
Still beautiful, successful and fruitful
Her children have to help her fulfill her dreams
For she yearns to see them happy and united
Living in peace, unity and tranquility
Happy birthday to our motherland
Happy birthday Nigeria!!!

LET THERE BE LIGHT

Let there be light At the sight of light Darkness takes its flight For when light arrives It brings beauty And radiates energy  This little light of mine I must let it shine Noon day or night It must shine bright Giving illumination to my world Alice Asuquo

Dreams

Myriad of thoughts Running through your mind A dream of a beautiful and colourful future An irony of the present bleak and black situation Is it feasible or attainable? You ponder and wonder Just because you can't see something Doesn't mean it isn't there Keep your dreams alive!!  ~Alice Asuquo

Fire + Ice

Fire+Ice Some are hot like fire;  Sweltering, tangy, hot and spicy Some are cold as ice; Numbing, frosty, cool and chilly Everyone can't be the same Howbeit, with tolerance and understanding We'll stay together in peace and love ~Alice Asuquo
