Gallant Soldier
Gallant soldier
He was born as a baby boy
Time change him to a man
on the period of war
In his home town
Was blood stain
Like a paint on a mansion
He saw his love ones
Like a Brutality
Slain like a chicken
Half of his friends
are no where to be found
sounds of war drone
keep pulling down buildings
Decay of bodies
All over his city
like goods in a supermarket
Oh no he cried
This got to stop
On the next plane
to war front he goes
He was determine to save
his contry and family
Leaveing his only
Wife in a city of blood festival
His new baby boy alongside
Mama weep bitterly on his departure
My son
God Guide you back home to
meet us well
Was her last words
Oh mama
Dis got to stop! He replied
My son
It shall be well with you
Father in tense said
My love don't go
Wife scream with tears
My love
This got to stop he replied
let's go time is late
Other soldiers chanted from afar
And off
He goes
Like a lion he fought
Like a fish he was awake
All day all night!
No retreat no surrender
Fear was never on his mind
The war lasted for year
Like are luck they where gaining grounds
Slow and steady they keep pushing
As time tick
At home was less attack
Less decay bodies on
the street in his home town
The hope of peace
once flash on the heart of his people
Mama keep praying
Father on the sick bed
preparing for his last breath
I know my husband will come home
wife keep wishing
On the war front he keep fighting
With time they became more stronger
We will never stop till is over he said
Then he was the hit man
He was more brave than he ever was
His moves was too poisonous
Oh gallant solder
A man of great value
A man of great love,
A man of God
At long last
The war was over
Like a pitty he lost his soul
On a battle ground
Never he went back home
To raise his son
Never was seen alive again
Sorrow rolls
When his cops was brought home
A brave Biafra soldier
Who gave all to save his people
Rest in peace
To all soldier who
were dead on a war of Biafra
Rest In peace
to all mothers killed
Rest In peace to 3.5million kids
that were starve to death in Biafra
Where ever you are
Your sacrifice are not forgotten
I hear your blood
still calling for justice
Oh gallant soldier
may your soul live forever
As we struggle to live
I write again
We got to understand
What sence it makes
To live without war.
We need no more wars and
Isolation among us.
The key to life
Is love.
