Green White Green...To My Fellow Nigerians! Poem by Edwina Aleme

Arise o! fellow countrymen
Arise and array yourselves i splendour
come and carry this weight of armour
and fight for your space o! countrymen

We claim to be in abundance
but it all seems like dry land
We declare peace all the time
but seem to go to war..,

Arise o! compatriots
When she calls, obey!
do not deny serving this greenland
with your strength,
your love and faith...
In time past, these heroes laboured
and yes! they showed no vain works...
stop, think and act with your country.
Be sober and have faith
as she is fighting to be free
to walk these streets in peace
and all she wants is for her children
to be in unity....
