Naija Sonnet 016
?Stand up, make your light shine.
be yourself; no join the line.
the eagle dey fly alone,
and the sky na your own.
God don bless you with a gift divine.
no let that serpent snatch am,
you gat dey wise and cony.
even if him come as your fam;
be wise, no listen to him story.
many don die before their time,
all because dem believe him lies.
now na your turn; no give a dime.
go out there, grab what you can,
the gods dey with you, we be Africans!
