When Will You Arise? Poem by Olubola Adepoju

WHEN WILL YOU ARISE?

When will you arise?
A new nation
When will you arise?
A beautiful and peaceful nation
Hmm! how I wish you could be peaceful
To allow a peaceful co-existence

When will it be?
Is it when the cankerworms are eradicated?
Or when corruption the king is killed?
And yet the king lives with us
Eating in our barn
Dining with us

If we're able to kill him
We shall live
And if we should live
Our nation would arise
Then the new beautiful and peaceful nation
Will arise

All hands must be on deck
For only love keeps a nation
One for all, all for one
Our love is strong
One love keeps us together
