GOODLUCK A NATION?

GOODLUCK A NATION?

Goodness marrying luck makes a name

So much power in it, made it fame

A name is not a game

Games wear many names

Distinct this yet appears as appeal

Behind the name, is a Jonathan

A dove, born into humility’s manger

A portrait speaking unending possibilities

Servant of all, the commander in chief

Beacon of hope, lightening a dark pained past

Shining star, all depressed gaze

Speak the truth, act the same

Promise all, keep the oath

Lead the way, our willingness will follow

Give us reason, none will despair

Be accountable, our all we surrender

Good luck Jonathan!

A name or just another game?

Change wearing a hat,

We believe your sincere

All feel your passion,

Same the bubbling vision

Even more, the enthusiasm to be servant.

Go on with one Nigeria

That’s the dream!

All of us Waking up in the promising land

A new Nigeria, of equal options

Where the least a celebrity

The great revered.

Such is all we request.

Beyond good luck,

Nigeria’s prosperity is a perpetual.

i thank you all who made much effort to see that noepoet came back. there is never any site as engaging as neopoet. the intelectuall quarrels, alliance , friendship and many more makes it all unique. am glad i came back home again.

as for MR GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN, am very sure he got it. i pasted this in his campaign site, politicians will only pretend not to see truth.

i wish allneopoet team more grace and power to accomplish more great feats.

i missed all my friends in here. i cant wait to reunite with all them

God bless noepoet
