The Power of the Common Man.

There is power in our thoughts, there is a certain fire in the mind of the common man. It is with him in view that nations are created, constitutions are forged and governments are elected.

The common man remains the most powerful force to reckon with in any democracy and when any political entity make the mistake of ignoring this facts, that mistake becomes existentially fatal to the existence of that entity. Maybe that is why our nation is crumbling, maybe, just maybe Nigeria as a Nation have ignored for too long the needs of The common man that is why she now wades in the mud of mediocrity.

The common man can no longer be ignored we have seen the need for a rebirth, a change in thought and strategy now let's cast off the old garment and start moving towards our appropriate position in the committee of Nations, as we ride on the shoulders of the common man.

This Poem was written by the Author for the Renaissance Progressive initiative of Nigeria.
