When Shall It Come...?


When will change come? When shall our expectations be met? When will the common man start to smile? When will the children on the streets find warm shelter? When will our politicians begin to truly care for the poor and down-trodden?

When will truth and justice prevail in governance? When will righteousness and fairness be the order of the day? When will our police force become beacons of law and order? When will corruption be put to shame?

When will our homes be constantly powered with electricity? When will the youth of this country be driven by noble dreams? When will their untapped potential be unleashed?

When will Nigerians unite in humble prayer to God? Who lifts nations and casts others down? Who delivers people from captivity, and swallows evil leaders up in raging seas of vengeance?

When will our leaders fear God, if not their fellow men?

Maybe it shall never be. But while life remains, hope also remains. We will continue to thrive on hope. We will continue to labor till freedom comes. We will continue to beleive that a brighter future awaits all of us.

Till then...
