Voice of the mortalised patriots (Dedicated To Benedict Odiase)

There was a country

Exited gallants came and conquered and appreciated

But, a popular music patriot was humiliated

There was a country

Account sank and serpent swords were appreciated

While a pen pusher and patriots were humiliated

There was a country

Philanthropist, moguls and Aristocrats were appreciated

But ex-service compatriot was humiliated

Still unity we all acclaimed

Though I was laid to rest

The earth stands to chant my tone daily

As the nation calls to obey

There was a country

Accolades for geese divide the ganders

Oh! Inhabitants of south-south

Why did you hide your pride?

Oh!! Comrades of Edolites where is your Diamond?

Western world Aristocrats treated silent

But athletes and lads shoulder high and glorified

I am for peace, let my soul thread for immortality
