THE HISTORY OF TOMORROW
I want to tell you the history of tomorrow
Its the history of how our leaders fulfilled a promise of light
By dumping us in the dark with pits everywhere
I want to tell you the history of tomorrow
Its the history of how our leaders fulfilled a promise of food
By asking us to chop several fire-woods to heat up a pot full of stones
I want to tell you the history of tomorrow
Its the history of how our leaders fulfilled a promise of job creation
By making us slaves on our own soil
I want to tell you the history of tomorrow
Its the history of how our leaders fulfilled a promise of education
By dumping us in dilapidated buildings without teachers
I want to tell you the history of tomorrow
Its the history of how our leaders fulfilled a promise of accountability
By looting our treasury and asking us for yet another term in office
I want to tell you the history of tomorrow
Its the history of how our leaders fulfilled a promise of safety
By leaving pot holes large enough to swallow countless accident victims on our roads
I want to tell you the history of tomorrow
Its the history of how our bows and arrows
Would secure our future
I want to tell you the history of tomorrow
Its the history of a country, a country with countless heroes
Its the history of a country, a country with countless robbers
Robbers with fame
Robbers without shame
Robbers that we would roast with flame

Tomorrows history is today. All world leaders must make real democracy work. They must be selfless. We must not wait until there is horror and terror before we learn. Nigerian leaders must shun CORRUPTION.

History
Why is history so important?
Why isnt yesterday known as history?
Why do we learn history at all?
What would we be called in history?
Why would we be in history?
Why, when people get into fights they yell out, youre history?
What does history do to us?
Will this poem make it to history?
Will I be in the books of history?
Will the history books be of me?

HISTORY
It is history that, I
Know of the past.
Through history, I learn
Of the old.
And from historys mortar.
The future is shaped
Friends, lets not bother
Much of the past,
And get tied up.
Because, history sheds its
Past, and adds to the New.
Therefore, pound and mix
History with the present
To get a future image from history.

History why do we care
History
a famous person dies
History
a war rages
History
a new invention
History
a building opens
History
what happens if something happens to me
is that history?
no....
So why do we care.....
