To The Man Marked Out…
ReplyDeleteI swear you get mouth
Today you shall march forth again
Into court stronger as ever
Unrelenting, unbeaten and never to quiver
Your sufferings are not without gain
Today he shall assume the center stage
With boldness and strength
In liberation of his people from the so called bondage
At whatever peril and length
In wisdom you shall find words to speak
Of truth and nothing less
Leading the struggle to the highest peak
The greatest of love have you offered without a selfish interest
This battle to bring to an end
This war must be of victory
We must all stand up to our fundamental rights and that defend
For our triumph will be on the lips of history
Go on spread it, this war is already won
For all lost Biafrans whose blood has been shed upon
For sooner or later; the republic of Biafra will be reborn
And the streets and the inhabitants shall sing her song
See that the flag waves
Witness soon the rising of the golden sun
Have faith for with suffering comes success
Don’t lose hope for it only dies last
And in unison we will chant
All Hail Nnamdi Kanu!!!
All Hail Biafra!!!
All Hail Her Freedom Fighters!!!
