Where is the milk? Where is the honey? by Akande David

‘’Where is the milk? Where is the honey?”

A land,

With milk and honey she flowed like it was at Canaan

Beautiful  flowers surround her territory

 Green plants growing on fertile soil

Comfortable atmosphere that makes everyone

Feel good

Sweet economy like honey

Citizens with pure heart like morning dew

The rich

The powerful

The mighty hands that oppress

They impose force labour on citizens who

Work like the Israelites under king pharaoh of Egypt

Great exploitation all in the name of tax

The masses worked like elephant but reap like ants

Peace, Joy, Comfort, where hath thou?

If thou hath asleep wake up from your slumber

The milk and honey of the land is a national inheritance

We are now slaves in our own land

Where is the milk? Where is the honey?

The milk is now bad

The honey has loosed its taste

The nationalist are asleep

The alters utter heresy and the clergy are less concerned

They are blind folded by political aspirations

Hmmm

Where is the stream of hope?

What does the future looks like?

When the milk and honey are gone

My people! My people!

Where is the milk? Where is the honey?
