Freedom fighters, born so young. Lion hearts, from day one. Playing with their plastic guns, Banishing evil from night to sun. Freedom fighters grow to men, they train for years, they learn to win. All across the world they go, they do it proudly, they do what their told. Freedom fighters.. suicide bombers... War has changed... enemies without honor, satan's coming you better look around, he wants to trick you, he wants you to bow down. Our Freedom fighters stand the ground! in midst of the enemy, extremists all around! Women subdued, no rights.. no views.. Hate is preached, swords unleashed.. Freedom Mourns... Like old prophets warn! Freedom fighters hold on strong! In your heads, sing our songs. The anthems of GREEN, white, and GREEN! Songs of your mother and father too. Freedom fighters hope does draw near, for the seventh trump ALL WILL HEAR! Freedom fighters brave and TRUE! Freedom fighters we salute YOU! Freedom fighters I want you to know, NIGERIA TRULY LOVES YOU SO! (Edited TommyGpoetry ) 2 Likes |
