It independence Day!!! It a New Blissful Month.
The air is full of Merry,
O' Arise O'Compatriots,
Celebrated once again Green, White and Green.
Today we remember why we have this pride,
we call it Independence,
that's what we say.
Our flags are flowing up, way up high,
we sing our song,
hands across our chest,
and heads in the sky.
We wait for the BANG, POW, BOOM, and watch the soldiers do their parade.
Here I was lost in my thought,
remembering the absurd past.
When our fore fathers were chained like dog,
beaten like a festival drum,
going on empty stomach,
plotted hard on large land.
Thanks to our hero'
Thousand of them who laid down their lives,
so that our Country is breathing this day,
who set us free,
and give us our word to speak.
Never forget their sacrifice.
Let us Rejoice and weep no more,
The light of our future is bright,
like a sun smiling up above the sky.
Let we all love one another,
Like that love a mother love her son.
Let we all love one another,
Like that love Dove has for her feathers.
Let we all love one another,
not like the love Hen has for her chicks.
Let we all love one another,
regardless of our tribe, culture,religious and parties.
Let shun TRIBALISM,RELIGIONALISM...
We all can come together,
We can together make things better.
To build a brighter future.
Then the dreams of our fore fathers will happen.
It Independence Day!
Freedom in the mind,
Faith in the words,
Pride in our Souls,
Let salute our Nation.
This is my Country,
I am a Nigerian
And today is our day!
HAPPY 55 INDEPENDENCE DAY!
Happy New Month.
