WHO AM I?

Official! WHO AM I? By Akande David Oluwadamilola (D-Plus). This work is dedicated to God almighty for adding another year to my years on earth today.
I  was homeless
Your arms my refuge
I was thirsty
Your living spring quenched my thirst
I had no cloths
Your Glory covered me

I walked on snakes and serpents
I felt no pain
I was nothing
You gave me everything
I drank water in the desert
I reaped plenty during famine

They call me barren
You made me fruitful
A simple question for everyone

Minus his grace, WHO AM I?

'GREAT FATHERLAND'



 This poem is dedicated to my 'GREAT FATHERLAND' NIGERIA on her 54th Independence anniversary. God bless NIGERIA


Great Fatherland Arise!
It is a brand new year
Wipe away yesterday’s tears
It is a new dawn, Arise!

The white merchants are gone but
I see their scars all over
Dream less of the past
The future is bright

Your children are crying
Wipe their tears
Your loved ones are dying
Save their lives

Great Fatherland Arise!
Stop them from  looting
Stop the killing
Stop tribalism
Stop the bombing
Let religious crisis stop

Great Fatherland Arise!
Tie your children like a broom
In unity is our growth
Great Fatherland, let peace reign

Great Fatherland Arise!
I believe in you
Wake up from your slumber
The future is BRIGHT and BEAUTIFUL
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE NIGERIA, MAY GOD CONTINUE TO ENLARGE YOUR COAST
