They Slumber (Part 3) Poem by Kingsley Egbukole
They Slumber (Part 3)
Rating: ★5.0
Awake, they will vow
To blink no more but toil
Double toil and fearlessly fight
Tom extract our rights
From the lion jaw
The antidote to our land and pride
Else, they will sleep on
Deep, deeper to wake no more
The land cancerous and hopeless
Both converge to a shameful death
Because we shielded our heads.
