Afri -Cans
Even
though I’m
a Nigerian
From a
land
troubled
by various
vices
I’m proud
of our
seeds--
Nigerians
who have
got vision,
virtues
and voices
Even
though I’m
an African
From a
land
where
many
dreams die
I’m proud
of those
who are
Afri-
cans
Who’s
ideas and
ideals can
make
a fish fly
Even
though I’m
a *****
Born and
bred
amidst
dust and
dross
I’m proud
of one
man, a
*****-
hero
Barrack
Obama, a
black
American-
boss
Even
though I’m
Nigerian
From a
land
where
many
suffer
and smile
I’m proud
of those
who are
noble
Nigerians
Who keep
their
dignity…
going
the extra
mile
