Pledge To My Heroes Poem by LIGHTCHEERFUL BRIGGS

Deeds of the heroes past gone to oblivion
And farewell is the sleeping heroes of hearts
Who with their last dropp of red rain fought?
Fought like the wounded lion to establish
A nation bound in freedom, peace and unity.

The foundation quality of our nation
Where now resided it, laid by our heroes past?
Where is the nation tied to freedom, peace and unity?
Where is the equity, where is the one Nigeria O' Nigerians?

Empty is but the pledge we owe them
And they cry in their domain for labor lost
Alas second chance is their desire
The potter would make another pot with water filled if.

O' compatriots arise, call of Nigeria take heed;
Thy father land with love, strength and faith serve,
Immunize in your deeds the heroes past labors
Alas cry they, in vain the labors of their hands.

Teach the youths the truth to know
The youths, the truth they know not
Germinate they not in love and honesty,
In unjust and untrue they secure justice
‘Cause built nation where peace and justice
Shall reign now in greed governed

To Nigeria pledge I O' my country
Faithful, loyal and honest to be;
Nigeria to slave for, my strength with all,
And shall immunize my heroes' past labor,
Her honor and glory, so speed me God.
