Legacy Poem by Babatunde Aremu

Legacy



Their yesterday,
Was lived for our today.
They fought good fights
The manacles were unchained
With their tears and bloods
Many were maimed, harassed and jailed
Their dignities were rubbished
Just to bequeath us worthy legacies
Of being born free and living free
All their lives were wrapped in fighting
For freedom of our papa land
Their writings, music, poems
Betray their burning heart desires
They fought a good fight
And laid on us crowns of freedom
Now that they are sleeping
Let us not disturb their rest
Let's uphold their tenets and desires
Let's keep marching on
Let no tongue divides
Let no religion nor politics
Rubbish their good legacies
Let the baton of total freedom
Pass to the next generation
Let us sow good seeds globally
So that those coming after us
Could enjoy total peace
