Nigeria
She teaches me like a scuba diver, in the open ocean
Her love is like a lovely rose, the world’s delight
She cares for me like a husbandman, who doth guard his bouquet
She scolds me out of my sins, In a more verified manner
Her swears are like a printing-office foreman, who years for close quarters with a knife
Yet, she prioritizes me like tinder, aiming for a faster like by a potential match
She is mysterious as the salinity of the seas, the waves, the winds, and ocean water colour
She works a miracle every hour, like a magician in the night circus
When she rocks me to sleep, to relax, and slow down.
