MY POEMS

NIGERIA JOURNEY DANGERS

In my adventure to the North
On the expressway, I saw a scary lot
Accidents made travellers sacrificial lambs
As vehicles jam like stubborn rams
Desperadoes with heavy metal guns
Blocked the highway and robbed the funds
Askaris delayed virtually all vehicles
To forcefully fill their filthy vessels
As everyone's being looted
I observed but was exempted
