A Lone Fighter Poem by Blessing Ekpe

whether he fails alone
whether he fights lone
whether he swims alone
And sails alone
Decisions made in his vineyard
Being a lone fighter, All are his.

He is a servant of all
He is a born radical
He is a defender of the truth
He is but a stammerer
As bold as a lion
He is only but a lone fighter

Whether others choose to cooperate with him
Whether others give a helping hand
Whether others choose to hate him or love him
He is unmoveable by an opposing gang
For he is a lone fighter!
He is a man of his words

He is a warrior of great repute
He is a being of humble guts
He is a man of high motivation
He probable may not be a good speaker
But he is a lone fighter!

Not that he is a loner
Nor an enemy of the multitude
Not that he is a scorner
Nor a blood sucker
For he loathes praise singer
That is why, he is a lone fighter!
