Master Monday
Oh my goodness!
He is in his army's form
With an eagle badge
His loud in the merge
Lift right, lift right, lift right, lift right!
He is a standing major
Master Monday
Fought for the nation
His faith that insisted him
He lost without rank
No eyes on his legacy
Hunger cries for his children
Sleeping in sun
Running for rain
Shivering on floor
Embraced his fate of Harmattan
Late hero died in battlefield
Fought to save the nation
In a cold, hot, rainy days
Shrunk like a sleeping flower
Dumb by melodious sonic boom of war
Crippled to save today
Blinded to open our day
Gone mad to mining the golden day
His family lived in heart weep with penalty of his pension
Raises hands for alms
Those bullets ran behind
His war riffle is his crutch in peacetime
Standing major squat in parry
the nation was disabled
Houses ruins no hands to buildup
Spent rest of his lifetime on wheelchair
Lost an eye!
What makes a man, man
Also makes a man child
Grant major as national hero
Who propped up an old tree?
When it no longer bear its fruit
Oh my goodness!
End up with nothing, wreath on grave.
