Best Fatherland Poems

Flowers of peace are now magnificently blossoming
In the gardens of the battlefields of Khartoum and Kinshasa.
And roses of tranquillity and order slowly blooming 
In the flower pots of Kigali’s sorrowful genocide cites.

The smoke of dead gun-fire still flies
In the skies of the outskirts of Monrovia...

There was never a land sweeter than Bamenda
Nor a land so full of honey: Buea
Full of a consanguineous race
A people garnished by love and commensurateness
A people though battered to smithereens
Never for once have cast adrift their rectitude

There was never a land so full of stoicism...

Fatherland          

I have no home, no fatherland,
I am a soldier with no weapons,
No worldly goods can tie me down,
My paths lead me into distances grey.

Trenches are my bed,
The starry skies of the universe
Will cover me when...

Let the feature fly
And the wings beat
Because this is Nigeria
Nigeria! Nigeria! So high
Nigeria! Nigeria! The dream of a future very bright
Nigeria! Nigeria! So fit
Nigeria! Your greatness you meet
Nigeria! Your greatness we see
And never again to split
Nigeria! Nigeria!! Nigeria!!!...

Never too late the call to answer 
never too late the service to render
in patriotism our strength triumph
in piety our loyalty resound
oh, service to father land?
The ravaging feat of the wicked we
solemnly bewail at this time of 
national recession. In some 
climes of idleness, victory...

The future farmers are begging for bread,
I see their seed sinking in the sea of sorrow,
our elders are behind, no one to follow.
On the pillow of pain hope lays his head.

Tomorrow is gone; it died in the past.
Today is filled with mess and mysteries,
yesterday is...

When I die let me buried
Only in that land I love
Amid the wide spread plain
Where termites live and own
Though with the blood of foes
Lying in that grave I’m home
Many would laugh at my plea
And wonder why I would seek
And long for all that seem lost
But...

Very funny how it is easy to be lonely in a city of millions
Very Crazy how it all goes from bustling and noisy
To killing the night in a cold-blooded silence 

The night becomes so silent 
The beat of my heart screams louder 
Than a pregnant...

In my dreams;
I see the malicious red flames lick away our prized possessions
and we watched mesmerized,
while it destroyed years of labor.
Years of slavery by our fathers of old
years of suffering by the weak; the coward
years of struggle by the fearless; the bold.
drums of sweat; drums...

From Naija I hail
Across tough and turbulent tides I've sailed
My country, a hardening ground for life
prepares you for the world's untold strife

From Naija I learnt
Not to give in though life stretches you at both lenghts
For it pulls you apart to live
So you can in every...

FATHER LAND

Think not to impress her with cheap words,
nor with tactics of a teenage boy,
hoping to see the conquest of a glamazon.

To sniff her fragrance,
is to break through an army.
nothing but a feat of derring-do.

Formed in the fiercest of fire,
she is emerging,
from the merry-go-round.

Only the...

For Fatherland 

In a country to near the Arctic Circle
every new generation -men and women- had to
throw pebbles into a lake,
until the lake was full and you could wade over,
Alas, a bridge was built,
so futile the pebbles.
Now they are learning how to throw a hand...
