'Hated by my Country' by Ayeni Tolulope

I am hated by my country

One which the venals rule

And Patriots are left to rot.

I live in pain because I alone can't bring change

If we don't act is there hope for change?

In my land I am seen as despicable

Because I am the odd one in this debacle.

I am hated by my country

Because I preach unity and sanity.

II

I am hated by my country

One which the old leads the young astray.

I live in a country which is depressive

For the land is highly perversive.

Is there hope for change?

In a land which the honest men are losers.

I am hated by my country

Because I stand by my pledge

To be faithful, loyal and honest.
