My Country

After three glasses of memories, I was drunk in deep thought Staggering through the pavement of my meditation I couldn't help but to think of the land I came from Where trees bow in submission to the strength of the wind Where the sea hardly gossip with her land mass and the soil never go thirsty I come from a land where geographical disasters never visit Where hatred still sing a love song cultural heritage still echos in our traditions Though different tongues yet we speak one language The language of love Though different drum sounds yet one dance step The dance step of unity A land baptized with peace A native land,proud to serve A strong motherland Lost so many children yet pregnant for more Scars of boomblast sleeps on her back Corruption rapes her everynight but her tears water the field when the sun visit her day A land wrapped with coat of arms Skin coloured "green white green" A land that bring forth offsprings like you and I Bound in happiness,laughter and countless triumph A bowl of enthusiastic youth, with hopes and dreams Talented people Culture never to be washed away in the sands of time A land I'm proud to call my own The place I love to call my home The soil that birthed marrow into my bone How I miss the smell of our pride The mother of our bride A land impregnated by rich mineral resources A land of trade and Entrepreneurs Pages of divers abilities Kings, queens, princes and princesses Indeed it's a land of royalty Beauty bathes the soul of her soil Hunger stole the lives of many we know Plane crash ended the destiny of some Flood swallowed the wealth of others But these losses drown in the stream of our happiness For we come from a land where sorrow only comes To spend the night So i water my green field I wave the flag high in the sky Customise every T-shirt I buy Compose a song for my land Paint a nice portrait of her beauty Go to north east south and west Make the whole world hear my voice I paint the walls white and the cities green For I come from a land called Nigeria #Benarmani
