THE UNFORTUNATE TIME

The fire of time
is burning us
we're now groaning in pain.

Our democracy has woefully failed us!
now a stinge to humanity
What a shame?

New naira notes policy
has broaden
a cloud of darkness!

The anguish of grief,
hunger and a surge of
anxiety has melted us.

Our hopes are lost
in the sands of time.
Where do we go from here?

You've been answering
a giant of Africa but, you've
lost your vigour and integrity.

What ails you to be eroding
at this time your citizenry
needs you?

Your banking system
has nothing to write
home about.

For estimation of
immeasurable queues
lengths and unknown.

We're highly disappointed
in this cashless society
you have Inaugurated.

CBN's new notes swap have
transpired an insurrection
that could bring a ceaseless

uproar, civil disobedience
that could rip the nation into
havoc and untold hardship.
