Official Independence Poem For Nigeria @57 by Greatpoet(m): 4:06pm On Oct 01, 2017 |
The official Independence poem is from this awe-inspiring prolific Poet, Soldier, and Freethinker, Yakubu Babaginda Yakubu. Enjoy this piece below: CASKET OF ANCIENT WONDERS – THE REBIRTH OF A GREAT NATION Love once did hold a diverse Race abound Truth once did reside in the purest of hearts Time bared no witness for the great alchemy of sincerity that spawned. Greed and lust soon creped deep beneath the shades of doubt and despair. Truth tossed far from were illusion did live. Virtue and Truce entangled in an unending waves of skirmish. Uncertainty now bids their bond farewell. But a great people Never set aside humility for petty grievance For life’s best gift is the greatest virtue there is So on this day we forget Ahead amidst the forge midst and dew On this day we break the jinx of unholy revelations On this day we match forward hand in hand with the will to find deep our soul tamed solitude On this day we set aside our petty differences On this day we become our brother’s keepers For the Love of home country For the love one vision For the love of a brighter tomorrow For the love one voice that will be heard across the inter tropical convergence zone. Long Live our mother land It’s Leaders It’s Combatants It’s Patriots It’s Defenders It’s Guardians It’s Keepers It’s Clerics It’s Traditions It’s Cultures It’s blood line It’s immortal Heritage for when tomorrow comes History will surely contend with us. *LONG LIVE NIGERIA AT 57* POEM BY: YAKUBU BABANGIDA copyright©™102017 yakububabangida@greatpoets.com Source: http://www.ngg.ng/2017/10/01/official-independence-poem-for-nigeria-57/
