Republicanism Poem by Samuel Francis Leumas

Republicanism



Like the statue of liberty
to the spirit of revolution
for the unity of proletariats
and the togetherness of elite.
The communion of comrade
like the struggle in Cuba
and Americans fight for independence
to the nationalist song
in the lullaby of emancipation.
Sacrificed blood of warrior
in the prayer of freedom
the pledge of national upliftings
like the American invasion of Normandy
like the eradication of apartheid rule
to the stoppage of slave trade
and the song Negro spiritual
like the revolution in Ghana
and egalitarian anthem
to the social contract theory
like people like John Locke
like Nelson Mandela
and chairman Mao Zedong.
In the name of republican party
like the idealistic philosophers
like Solomon's wisdom
even to Ken Saro Wiwa
like president Barak Obama
And Goodluck Jonathan.
To the killing of a tyranny
and the death of a dictator
in the belief of decolonization
to the perfect peoples' politics
in the norms of democracy
for the people's government
like human right fundamentalist.
In the happiness of common people.
In the healing of the world
like the Scandinavian nation
in the true spirit of consociative democracy.
In the joy of federalism.
In famous political martyr
in the name of love
the emblem of republicanism
