Perhaps ape?*** ***They are playing us a movie script on videotape*** ***We are even watching a rerun on a landscape*** ***It's funny how less they think of us*** ***Zero regards for human lives*** ***Labour of heroes past lost in transit*** ***They are not about leaving any legacy*** ***Nation building they say, such fallacy*** This Post First Appeared Here. https://hive.blog/hive-114105/@olawalium/this-is-nigeria Thank you for your time.

I cannot imagine living in this situation. I do not wish to live in one either but I hope that someday, a solution will come. As I said in my previous comment, I would prefer to have a poem that is not entirely written in bold.
I really hope the situation changes too. We are keeping up that hope and holding on for it. Cool. That's your personal preference. Poetry can come in different forms.
