There Were Three Brothers By Yemisi Ok. by yemisi1999: 9:21pm On Mar 05, 2016 |
The love we once shared, The pain we all beared. The strength in our thighs, The dreams in our eyes. There were three brothers… In our dependence, we became independent, Oh together, what a great trident, Power! Power! Power! We wanted to prove we were greater, There were three brothers… Who is going to lead? Who is going to bleed? Unity, Where art thou? Harmony, I guess down. There were three brothers… “We” became stool, “I” became the new cool, Our minds got separated, Our bones; Emaciated, There were three brothers… The only bond left is our name (Nigeria) Our forefathers probably bow their heads in shame, We have become a bloody cadaver, Which needs a miracle sub-woofer, There were three brothers… Hausa,Igbo and Yoruba. Where do we go from here, To our better past of regionalism? Or renegotiate our togetherness? The time is now! Poetry about Tribalism in the Nigerian Society. |

Nigeria we hail thee Our own dear native land Though tongue and tide may differ yet In brotherhood we stand.... .. ..... .. .. .. Let there be love shared among us Let there be love in our hearts May that your love fill this NATION And course us oh Lord to arise Give us a fresh understanding of brotherly love that is real Let there be love 1 Like |
