ARISE OH COMPATRIOTS

How blessed you areTrapped on a roseThe butterfly that never fliesIn the shade of lighted jarFrom the helm decomposedPray the inner strength to riseArise oh compatriotsCrank up engines of compound trustsConspicuous cravingsA clarion callArchitect of our futureWe should becomeTake a flightAbove the plightFlapping wings of eagle’s mightDaring clinch of feeble fightClouting switch of leadership lightNigeriaFashioned with amazing opportunitiesNigeriaHow finicky the sound of nairaNigeriaParalyzed in political abilitiesNigeriaHow abysmal the nose-dive values of our nairaNow that we’ve seen the lightFalling down from the skyI pray each citizen to ariseLet’s serve with heart and mightLifting our country’s flagIn the vein of kiteOh death!Like the groom beckons the brideI cry out my country’s prideWith your broom’s unceasing fightFlounce out my country’s prideKissing my lipsA salty stingHope for leapsMy country’s cryThe fallen archIn the march of timeBuild us the strength of political classHere comes a wakeup callTo the Davits that we areIncluding you and IThe time to act is nowHands on claysBuild us a new Nigeria I prayThis destiny has been delayedAnd our hearts disarrayedTogetherness I craveBreathe new life into our pledgeShut the gate to backward fateOpen my heart oh decipherable sageDespite our woes, despite our troublesDespite our challenges, despite our problemsDespite our grievances, despite our complainsDespite our sorrows, despite our horrible leadershipWe are still NigeriansCos in our unity, lies our strength!Free my heart from worriesUphold our honor and gloryHibernating gang of flimsy excusesWe must all arise and mean our country’s pledgeI PLEDGE to Nigeria my countryTo be FAITHFUL LOYAL and HONESTTo SERVE Nigeria with ALL my strengthTo DEFEND our UNITYAnd UPHOLD our honor and glorySO HELP ME GOD!Written by Paul OkukMobile: +234706 085 204BB Email: famouswritter@yahoo.com
