Scarcity or Narcissism

Scarcity or Narcissism

Scarcity seems to be the word flattering,
Narcissism chimes through the dusty horizon,
Wails of frustrated insanity which spreads across the land,
Who is asking why?

We were bold to dream,
We became more than the conqueror in our quest for earthy creations,
Of power we spoke, politics by game but witchcraft played,
Who is asking Why?

Why is the mighty falling,
Where are the saint bowing,
Whose leading do we blame,
When will the end come,
Who is in authority to salvage Nigeria, a black nation with outstretched hands?
Who is asking?

Scarcity of naira or navel-gazing,
Scarcity of emphatic or justice,
Why?
If we were bold to dream, why not abundance and compassion?
