When on their own land; Kings becomes strangers
And Queens taken by drunken soldiers,
When on unguarded and stray paths
prince walk
And servants ride gorgeously on horseback.

The cries of orphans shall be heard beyond!

When the best suddenly lacks precision
And pride sits on exalted positions,
When love slaves in egocentric places
And truthfulness burns on lying furnaces.

The cries of orphans shall be heard beyond!

This madness will crumble before our sight,
The hand of the Lord will show up in might,
To birth for our sake a new beginning;
Where justice prevail and joy unending.

Notes about the poem

The Rebirth is an expression of hope that the evil of this world will come to an end.

It pinpoints how injustice has risen to high heavens and bloated ego rules in home of the high and lowly.

It expresses the pain and wailing of the less privilege.

May the cries of orphans be heard beyond! In our country Nigeria
