Hurray!A father of thirty six Children is fifty.
His numerous offspring assemble to celebrate him.
The media jingles it and nations set off fireworks
To commemorate the most populous black nation.
He boasts the heart of Africa.
He prides himself on his oil rich soil.
He brags of his intelligentsia.
Yet, something is amiss.
At fifty, it's unfortunate that the central cannot hold
And things appear to fall apart.
Everything seems to be amiss.
Imagine a fool at fifty.
