POETRY OF CONSCIOUSNESS-ACROSTIC ODE: 'THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA' BY YUSUF KHALID.

T hey've been predicting her collapse,

H  er last breath is next year perhaps,

E  very day her flag hoists and flaps.

F  or long this nation has mishaps

E  specially bribes and kidnaps,

D  iseases claim headties and caps.

E  ven government only naps,

R arely it functions and roadmaps

A  ll around it are handicaps,

L  aw and order fissures and chaps.

R  uling there is by hooks and traps,

E  ducation has lots of gaps,

P  oor people surffer and eat scraps,

U  ntil now this condition wraps,

B  ut still the poor girl sings and claps

L  Ike her Nigeria won't elapse,

I  rrespective of overlaps,

C  ome rain or shine petroleum taps.

O  thers for this fought and got crashed,

F ortunately enough, we can contrast.

N  igeria will outlive spells cast,

I   do believe that she will last,

G  one are the days that we had clashed,

E  ventually, we shall be vast,

R  uin will vanish and so bomb blast,

I  gnore the past for it has passed,

A  lmighty bless Nigeria fast.

The poet persona praises and says some faults in the State, Nigeria. He does this conveniently, by making all the first letter of each line create the 'noun phrase'- THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.
