RATION, RATION
Repressant opinion
Dominant recession
An egg for one stomach
Shattered to feed a million
Passive aggressive
It’s uncomprehensive
The dream of our nation
Sacrificed on the alters of politicians
Ration ration
We’re rationing our stomachs
And inflating the bellies
Of announcers of recession
Regression regression
The market’s regressing
So, we ration our portions
But the prices keep rising
Recession recession
We’re crying recession
Yet, our roads are filled with
Big vehicles and long convoys
Dollar to naira
The numbers are rising
An irony to tell us
Our economy is crashing
Lamenting, rejoicing
We’re suffering and smiling
And shaming the memories
Of heroes of our independence
