Richard Nnoli Poet Lyric

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.
