Sovereignty Of Light Poem by Sayeed Abubakar

I sing of one empire, sing of one rule
Where the light will reign over the darkness,
Evil will flee, only the beautiful
Will prevail everywhere and spread its grace.

Men have suffered enough into the hell
Of night. Disdain, disgrace have caused much pain.
How cheap the poor people everyday sell
Their lives and labour; their fruits the rich gain!

I sing the song of sovereignty of light,
I sing the song of one humane empire
Where darkness will bow down its head as night
To the sun, cloud to storm, dry wood to fire.

You may fear the light and love the darkness;
Should for your sake the light hide its bright face?
