Old Chike evoking again,
Lord knows what spirit today.
Last week it was about Electricity
It has been erratic in the city.

Once upon a time it was about food
Seems Chike has long seen good
Many do call him a mad man
A fallout from a good drinking plan
I thought so or even said so
Now I do not think so,
Chike made me know so.

In His days were hopes for the future
A lot of youth were of good nature
Leaders led, some even bled
For the Betterment of all
The rich, the poor, the big and the small
Food affordable, yet rich
Now it's only the rich that can get this

I have to go and listen
Old Chike of the old days
Evoking once again
In His tattered clothes
A soldier of old who knows
the reason we're like this
Nobody would listen to him.
I have to go and listen to him,
all he has been telling me are now been seen.
