CONTEMPT AND THE DETRACTOR, the Ikot Abasi Federal Constituency syndrome

  Write me off with your little stories of lies Seeking for my downfall with your wounded lies I RISE Stories of me to poison those hearts I RISE But I'm like the dust that can never be tamed I RISE Don't listen to this evil tongue, Immoting my name just to gain the praise  I RISE For my burgeoning annihilate  his devilish act? I RISE  The earth for us both Why trampled me like i ate your fate? I RISE I know you want me to be broken, Bend head and lowered eyes just to beg.

I RISE  Like the sun 🌞 in the morning sky  YET I WILL EVER RISE. In a
