Nigeria,
my fatherland,
I love you.
I cherish you;
though ravaged,
and descrated,
I love you
Nigeria,
land peopled with mighty men
I love you
I love your beauty,
I love your might
both natural and human;
though scavengers
make you writhe in pains,
I rejoice in you.
Nigeria,
land of my birth,
You'll outlast these
evil times, and be strong
Nigeria, I love you,
even in this ragged cloth
that hang on your shoulder;
I love you...
Heartfelt, engaging write, Emeka. The entire continent of Africa, and its many peoples guard many a treasured secret... Well done, Poet.
Peace,
