The Nigeria Of Our Dream Poem by Emmanuel Joseph Olumakiss

Come let's create a Nigeria of our dream
Let's restore peace from abroad
Lets rise from the mud
Come let's deliberate a new way of doing things
Come let's build a home for all
Where liberty will thrive
And ethnicity is pushed out of our path
Do not live a double mind
Nor take this for granted
If we are to make it far
Take with you your armour
Be rest assured we will get it right
From behind lets make a return
Build not grudges among self
Severally we've dreamt of greatness
But ended up living the shallow of our dream
With our deeds this land shall be great again
Just like the old good days
Smiles never seize from the faces of our fathers
Drop down your anguish
Enemty be far from us
Forgiveness is the key
To as many that are wounded
That that bring us disgrace we must eschew
Let's embrace a new chapter of life
From our usual way of doing things
Where do we find refuge?
If not within our abode
It is unwise to destroy that that make us proud
Tough time have thought us well
All the joy we've been deprived
We've come to restore
When life was unfair
Now together we can make things fair.
