I stand to make a call
a call to stand tall
to face these men with clenched fists
and fixed stare
to be resolute in our acts
absolute in our hearts
and conclusive in our struggles
for these sufferings must stop
these intimidations,
oppressions,
that exist in our polity
must abscond our city.

for ours is a land,-
flowing with milk and honey
but today we look up,-
and find no gain
yet see, a land of pain

if we must fight this scourge
let's avail ourselves of fear
the fear of death,-
death from this battle
for, surely i tell you
NIGERIANS ARE ALREADY SUFFERING,
AND DYING
