CRIES FROM THE OCEAN

@@

From Ore road to Onitsha,

Down to the Onitsha bridge, To the coal city of Enugu, Come and see.

From the New market,

To Old park,

Right in the heart of Enugu, Come and see.

Standing alone,

No father or brother to lean on,

See the trial of serving a country.

No shelter for a patriot in his home country.

Come and see,

Countrymen come and see,

The suffering of a Corp member

More agonizing than the war that bore the scheme.

For our brutality began ever since,

Ever since we were born into this country…

After years of study,

Alas! Kelvin fell due to brutal training at the camp.

"You must never speak ill of this scheme,

But you must stand up for your country"

Somebody is fooling someone or himself,

This scheme has brought us to a place of questions.

Come and see,

To learn patriotism isn't it?

Yet government workers are the most patriotic:

Sleep, gist, work a little, and salary is earned.
