NIGERIA

Author: handsomest

You are still the lion of Africa
For no matter how the hyena laughs
Or the tortoise increases in craftiness,
None can emerge as king.

About this poem:
Despite the agony of the present time, I see Nigeria emerging, like China and America, from its predicament to becoming the Lion that it really is.

This enslaved king is nicely described in Longfellow's "The Slave’s Dream". Thanks for sharing it.
