Our Heroes Past Poem by Lanre Samuel

Who are the heroes of today?
As I go deep into my thought
Thinking about the struggle of
Our heroes past,

Heroes who gave their life
For the independent of
A great nation,
Heroes who fought for the liberty
Of our beloved country,
Heroes who break the
Chain of enslavement.

We are now bound by shackles,
The youth of a great country is
Being imprisoned, driven like slaves with no opportunity, no recognition, no future and no hope.

We are now being led
by executive
Looters and not leaders,
We know the pains and deaths
That has been our curse
For too long,

The fear of injustice
Has made us weak,
It has turn us into a coward,
The key of our survival is unity
And revolution,
Revolution of great thinkers,
Achievers and real leaders.
