'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
