WHEN SHALL THIS LAND KNOW PEACE

By Oluwole Oluwatobi Solomon

The book is a collections of poetry written to unveil my country Nigeria and some other social issues which are trending around the globe. It cuts across some themes which are intriguing and captivating for readers to read on.

This collections of poetry is not written in vacuum in the sense that, it picturesques the effectiveness and efficiency of literature in in larger society. Which is the spinal cord of Literature and society.

I affirmatively believe that literature cannot be separated from our society, and it can never go into extinction unless people in the society and the society itself no longer exist.

In a nutshell, this collections of poetry unveil the abysmal condition of the masses and the society they find themselves, which is a measure of unveiling the problems of the society to the masses, which will serve as an eye opening measure for them.

Book preview

WHEN SHALL THIS LAND KNOW PEACE?

See how the masses are running helter skelter

Like a dog  pursuing a rabbit

Everywhere is in shambles

Masses are malnourished

Leaders are having potbellies

Wrinkles of trauma on the countenance of the masses

When shall this land know peace?

––––––––

See the agonies of the masses

They move here and there

Like a staggering chameleon

Due to the economic situations

They are awarded via the leaders

Expression of plights, sadness

Fill their facial outlooks

When shall this land know peace?

––––––––

See the heavy loads in the masses' hearts

Like a tower of Babel

Insecurity is perceived in every zone

Genoterrorism flaunts the North

Kidnapbanditry in the South

Lawlessness in the East

Herders inflictions in the West

When shall this land know peace?

––––––––

The eyes in heaven

Where are you?

Why are we facing these challenges?

Who have we offended in this country?

Our forefathers, where are your ears?

Intervene on our behalf

Shall we continue like this?

Hearts are grieved and in dangers daily

When shall this land know peace?

I HAVE A DREAM FOR NIGERIA

I have a dream for my country Nigeria

I see a glorious days ahead of you

Nigeria, that you shall be great once more

I can see a new Jerusalem in you

Where the Whites bow to you

And confess their abnormalities

––––––––

I have a dream for my country Nigeria

I see where poor and rich din together

Where there is no discrepancy

Among the Hausas

Among the Ibos

Among the Yorubas

And everyone dwell in harmony

––––––––

I have a dream for my country Nigeria

I see the out gone politicians biting their fingers

Echoing in their
