INDEPENDENCE DAY

Heavy rain had fallen,
Great sun had shone,
All on our heads.
We had drunk from the mud,
Eaten the sour fruits to have toothache,
Now, we can't but remember the absurd past.

When we were chained like dog,
Beaten like drum,
Thralled for wealth,
Bartered for glass.
Planted on the plantation plant of the "white cassava",
On empty stomach,
Plotted hard on large land.

Thanks to the hero,
Who set us free,
And gave us our words to speak.

Let celebrate independence,
Yes, independence
Of our ancestor, not for us.
We are not in bondage,yet we are.
Bondage of who to lead,
Without renegade mind.

We have been cast in the net,
To cry and shout,
Yet no change.

The country is in thrill of crisis,
No peace for man, No peace for woman.
War signal at the cardinal point of life.

The crop of saviour had tortured us,
To become thread-like,
And eat bone for meat,
Dust for road,
Hut for classroom,
Strike for right,
Candle for light,
Extortion for Price
Independence
Or second slavery
Let's celebrate.

N:B- PLS DON'T HESITATE TO COMMENT AS YOU READ, MAY GOD Bless you as you do.
