Moremi (The Symbol Of Bravery) Poem by Saliu Muideen

Moremi
A woman of a thousand men's strength
You are an inspiration to the women of our nation
Brave and vibrant is your heart
Caring and loving is your soul

Moremi
Alone in the land of no return

Where thousand men wandered without return
You ventured in and still returned
Hale and hearty, full of victory

Moremi
Your courage and heartfelt love
Saved us from being captured into slavery
And brought back to us light of hope

Moremi
You fought for dignity and peace
To keep this land as one large piece
You kept the flag with all your strength
And you went further to extra length
Just to keep us all united

Moremi
You didn't retreat
You didn't surrender
Neither did you gave up
Just for the love of our land

Moremi
See now
What you fought for with your blood
Is now engulfed in the grip of greed
And your land is now suffering in the fang of corruption
Your efforts seems now to be in vain....
