For Love Of Country And Flag Poem by Uche Nwanze

For love of country, I will not keep mum
For country and flag, I pledge my loyalty
Diverse like the rainbow, together we colour the sky
Together we stand tall like the pyramids in the north and invincible like timber in the south
Strife and distrust may divide us, love our unbreakable bond
For the toils and tears of our heroes past, together we stand
Corruption and chaos may come like a flood, together we will sweep it from our shores
For the Green White Green,
my allegiance I swear
For the land of my birth, her sovereignty we will defend
The tall walls of disunity, together we will break
Though in babel of tongues we utter,
in symphony our voices resound
Cacophony and acrimony may lie at our gates, on the same table we feast
Tribe and creed may stand in our way, hugs and handshakes of friendship will show us the way
Though the journey be tortuous, Aminu and Emeka will cross the River Niger together
The moon may hide her face for a night, Preye and Rasheeda will break the fast together.
For love of Nigeria my country, I vow to bow
