For Love Of Country And Flag Poem by Uche Nwanze

For love of country, I will not keep mum.
For country and flag, I pledge my loyalty.
Diverse like the rainbow, together we colour the sky.
Together we stand tall like the pyramids in the north and invincible like timber in the south.
Strife and distrust may divide us, love our unbreakable bond.
For the toils and tears of our heroes past, together we stand.
Corruption and chaos may come like a flood, together we will sweep it from our shores.
For the Green White Green, my allegiance I swear.
For the land of my birth, her sovereignty we will defend.
The tall walls of disunity, together we will break.
Though in babel of tongues we may utter, in symphony our voices resound.
Cacophony and acrimony may lie at our gates, on the same table we feed.
Tribe and creed may stand in our way, hugs and handshakes of friendship will show us the way.
Though the journey be tortous, Aminu and Emeka will cross River Niger together.
The moon may hide her face for a night, Preye and Rasheeda will break the fast together.
For love of Nigeria my country, I vow to bow.
