There is very little difference between a flying man and a dead man

The flying Dead

Cruising at 28,000 feet above sea level
At a speed almost 1000 km/hr
Darting through the heavens like an arrow
In an iron container no harder than paper
In the wake of its momentum
I concluded, there is no difference
Between a man flying at that height
And a man buried several feet under the earth
Both men are …. Dead

Checking out the complexities
Of man-made technology
A box suspended in the air for many hours
I cannot help but marvel
The extent of the wickedness of man’s heart
For Leaders who oppress the poor
Senators who perpetrate evil
Governors who loot their nation’s treasury dry
All fly in the plane
Yet none of them considers
That they are dead once inside the iron container
They hatch their next evil
Satisfied with their accounts filled with loot
Perfecting the fall of their fellow man
As they meander through the skies
God giving them protection
That they may see yet a new day
To repent of their acts

Say Oh! God bring justice to Nigeria
We’ve been trodden on the winepress
We’ve been ground in the grounder
We’ve been sucked, looted by greedy leaders
Fools who consider not
Every time they fly the plane
They are ‘The flying dead’
