As i turn a year older tomorrow, this is my gift to Nigerians. please share on every wall, send on BBM n whatsapp if possible. Its a poem written by me, some time in July 2013. felt the time was right to release it. enjoy! AWAKE O DEAD KNIGHT, O NIGERIANS, AWAKE!!! The land is almost completely taken over by the enemy (corruption), Human rights, almost completely submerged in the sea of personal aggrandizement and greed, Heroes have fallen, great minds have been lost, Destinies are fast heading south, while a few seem to be enjoying short- lived victories over fellow Nigerians, When the real enemy stares at us, right in the face. Alas! For the land is completely taken, A nation blessed with anything, now paying for everything it needs Tyranny and wickedness at its peak While its leaders scramble for personal fame and achievements Neighbors at daggers drawn against each other Community against community Clan against clan State against state. Where is the love that once existed? Where is thy sovereignty? Where is thy pride? Embarrassed by foreign nations Molested all over the world Discriminated among even black nations Her citizens deported from all parts of the world, most pitifully from her fellow African nations. How are the mighty fallen! Of course, a house divided against itself cannot stand Hence the call for your mighty knights Yes, most of them are dead, but Where are the remaining few? Those capable of wielding the sword Armed with a worthy vocation Will ye stand aside and watch, as the enemy takes over the land? Over 200 innocent girls still in captivity, Yet, no one flinches, Look in the eyes of one Nigerian, and you’ll see a whole nation Maybe independence came a little earlier, Maybe we needed to be free from ourselves, and not the british! Well, we are where we are now And we must defend ourselves and the nation, so Arise a knight today! Shout aloud , awake the sleeping knights Let’s become the great nation that we truly are again Take your place among the nations of the world ARISE, ARISE, ARISE, TILL LAMBS BECOME LIONS AWAKE O DEAD KNIGHTS, AWAKE!!! ```````````````````````````````````````````````COURTESY: COLLINS N.
