NIGERIA @57: BEFORE THE BRIDGE IS BLOWN OFF from Rhemaline Through hot tears she was conceived The blood of men were the sacrifice And their lives the building block for her existence. Through pain and anguished- She was delivered. And there and there, the shofar blew! Freedom was the only voice heard It travelled through the thick and thin forest And both the fowls and goats can testify of it. It was the only song the birds chant The only air creature breath And the only light to the eyes. The green and white flag Singing the anthem, Freedom! Freedom!! Freedom!!! was the song. Free in our kingdom. Freedom! No longer a slave to anybody Hope of a great nation on the horizon. Kudos to the Heroes Kudos to the Heroines Who despised and placed their lives on the line. The freedom is here! But our kingdom is never tired of war Neither is it free of the pang of tear. Free from the external oppression But still a slave to the internal oppressors Where is our freedom? To this, no answer! The drum of hatred sounds louder every moment Our unity enjoys distance every minutes And the joy once celebrated now turning to a history. The rolling heads testified against the past The bigotry and hate speeches sparks the fire And (it is) about consuming our thick forest. This country is shaking The tide is against her Her survival gets slimmer every day. Now, there is a call for another freedom Which calls for a question, “Are we free in the first place?” This is the only question we cannot but ask. The unborn children are afraid to come to our world Wishing death in the womb If only the creator will be merciful to their cries The story of woe The gathering of the foes Altogether want to turn down this boat. We have crossed many bridges The one ahead is about to be blown away But must we destroy what cost lives to be built? We have fought We have disagreed But we can always put aside our differences. Let’s meet anger with sympathy Hatred with Compassion Cruelty with kindness. Let’s not forget that the drum of war is easy to beat But its rhythms are difficult to dance We may see its beginning but not live to see its end This country is not standing Turbulent winds are against her She might not survive. Yet, she can survive! We can breathe hope into her We can once again rekindle the dying hope. Words can break our peace Enmity can burn our land If we don’t back out, we may end in a ruin. We must play our part At every level of our endeavour To uphold and reinforce the crumbling wall of our unity. Let righteousness be our song Justice, what we stand for. And peace, what we embrace and preach! After this darkest moment will come the light! Hope is rising Because you are one of the Hope of this country! http://rhemaline.com/seasonal-plus/nigeria-57-bridge-blown-off/ 1 Share
