Black Freedom Poem by Kayode Orogbemi

This land of ours was given away for coins
Every man was sold, hair to toe and groin
This land of ours for folly was lost
Our land our land, taken by force.
The big fish that floats threw men up on our land
Red hairy men with knife and gun in hand
They faught us bit by bit and won us one by one
Some came with crosses, believe in their God or
fight againt their gun
Their God was stronger and their guns brought
more death
With their God they bought our culture and their
guns killed our tradition
They claimed the God they know owns the earth
And for Him they have come to take our homes
our land our nation
They were gods cos their skin was white
They made us slaves and took our all and our light
We were deprived of the better life, to white we
were stain
They brought laws and rules, their god said the
blacks were created to be slaves
They weakened our faith and pounded our soul
They destroyed our beliefs and broke our pillars
and our bones
They took our everything and and bounded us
with chains
They took our freedom and told us we were vain
Blessed are the men who had fought till now
Blessed are the heroes who had bought our
freedom with their lives
Great men who travelled on thorns and broken
bottles to bring back our crown
They gave their all and blood as bribe
How sweeter can our redemption song be?
True freedom is when a black man is king
Things fell apart
(Sighs in releif) ''at last''
