They Did It For Us

Unpleasant sounds, Pains and sorrow, Voices roars in the air, Booming of a gun, Thou shall not kill, Not in their dictionary. The tussle for power, Shattered and scattered roads, Fears in the mind, Humans on the race, Tears drop means nothing, Generations' gone and more still going. Hunger at its peak, Animals go into hiding, Great leaders taken to the Faded land by death. Fathers(soldiers) shoot other children's father, Darkness at its peak, Voices without sound yearning for peace, Peace to weak to stand. The struggles without end fears peace, War on seeing peace sighs. From behind it came like a bomb, bum, Was that? The UN, Their flag bears peace, To promote internal co-operation, Bring nations together, History broken, At last we can shake one another hands. Rehabilitation started, Nations assisting nations, Peace and security at its peak, Promoting human rights, And fostering all-round development, A better world for you and me, And education aids peace, The UNESCO came on board through it, And paved way for education, Reducing the illiterate in the world. Brought Africa to lime light, Gave rise to educated ones, Breaking the barriers in Nigeria education, What seems increasingly difficult was made easy, Nigeria now boasts of educated ones, It made Alvan what it is today, I am a beneficiary, Hmm! How do we appreciate the UN?
