Analysis of Dear deltas

Sam madeyin 1991 (Ogun States)



O dear deltas i cherished you,
Beautiful daughter, the tears am seeing down your cheeks
It never your portions but sordid there was
no thinking Head looking for hands of these for curbsides to clean
I morned about resources misamanagement, asked where are the dams
And why some areas yet cleaves to the roof of their tongues thirsting for drinking
Natural devastating bedlams

Ravaging flood scattering our dearest states
Water dominating our physical world demobilizing our communities
Deltas in levelling war right now, bending and sourced from disturbing benues too,
Niger areas could be tested by meets defeating loo
Please let's curb the damaging!

Vehicles and natural habitants wailing
terrorising orlays persist due to the casualty rates
there was nothing but force of fates
Please let's curb the damaging!

Water o meters flooding and lying wastes
 would Cali ideologies be borrow
Now before now
They seen watershed high but only idealogist saw its on downtown
Please let's curb the damaging
waters among divine resources for managing!
