We All Can't Leave!

For we are like the leaves on a tree,
to protect and make it damage-free
is our responsibility and assignment.
If one and two and three
falls off from their branches,
their space will be vacant till another grows,
but what if nothing grows again
for every leaf that goes down?

The glory of a tree is in the presence of its leaves and fruits
a fruitless tree is said to be cut down and burned in the fire,
a leafless tree is to be cut off too.
So when all leaves fall off the branches,
what shall become of the tree?
Barren, shall it be called amidst its peers.

We all can't leave!
What shall become of our Jerusalem?
What shall become the place of our training and making?
What shall become our primary place?
The truth is if you leave and I leave,
the place shall become desolate
and what joy shall we derive as we sit by the river of our Babylon?

We all can't leave!
We all can't desert our Jerusalem,
but even as we stay we stop complacency,
we put an end to stagnancy,
we end dormancy,
we take charge and take over,
we pursue, overtake and recover all we've lost,
we ain't leaving, I'm not leaving!
Together, we'll rebuild and intercede for you, oh Jerusalem.

Thank you for your time.


My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.

Still me,

My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

My interpretation of this piece is that we all can’t leave Nigeria. It’s funny that some people think that is the solution. If we all leave, what would become of her. I know some people wouldn’t care what does so I’ll just add that something may go wrong in that country and individuals may be asked to return to their countries. Don’t you return to your deserted land? Of course you do! So to japa is not the solution.

To japa isn't the solution hahaha I felt that. It's normal to think it is because for a change, people want to be in a system that works but like you have said, it's not the solution for a system that isn't working. We just need to keep doing our best and hope for the best for this country.

Yeah. I’m glad you understand me.

Of course. 🤗
