The Public Series: Saving My Mother

Saving My Mother

https://freedomhouse.org/country/nigeria/freedom-world/2022

Like a 'fat man' struggling to get out of a stampede,

my efforts seem futile

But I try - I must because this is my home

I am resolute because maybe this next act saves my mother,

Like a mad man sailing against the wind,

my dedication seams pointless 

But I care - I care because this is my home

I am resolute because maybe this next sacrifice will save our mother.
