The Autobiography Of A Great Nation Poem by Anugo J. Edoka
The Autobiography Of A Great Nation
I am that I am
A face that bears thousand tongue
Proud mother hen, shielding millions of tribes
Grand architect of billions of towering strides
I am a model, the very inspiration behind great songs
I am a people of a people
United in the midst of a staggering fate
Embracing peace like the sun doth the earth
I dream of tomorrow after yesterday's death
Never shall I let war again through my colourful gate
I am a land in a land
Yielding grains for all that march on me
Plains upon which strong characters are found
A lactating mother whose flow of milk knows no bound
The very soil that bears all that is to be
I am a country, a nation
Sprung from history, of times precarious and hard
But I am of faith, of hope in these hopeless times
Patient and praying I do not dance off this lines
For my strength is in my populace, weapon nobody ever had.
I am Nigeria, the famous green and white
Adorning the zeal of the Hausa
Coated with the elegance of the Yoruba
And crowned with the wealthy pride of the Igbo
I am greater than I am perceived
Beautiful than I am painted
Bigger than I look
I am the heart of a continent
The very soul of Africa
Fulfilled mother of proud sons
And thousands of years to come, I will still be here

A patriotic write. The poem fervently portrays a pround nation. I am not taken with patriotic writes as we should not separate ourselves into something other than we are as humans. We are all from the first humans. Dividing up the Earth into countries is based on a concept of ownership. Therein lies the problems we face today worldwide. It is really only one minds view of Nigeria. A good effort but watch grammar and spelling.
that's your own opinion, am with patriotic writes everyday of my life, while on earth we have areas of it where we hail from, mine happens to be Nigeria, i don't suppose we all proud of where we are from, if we are, we will all go patriotic, thanks for the grammar and spelling reminder, consider it noted
Beautiful! This is such a lovely depiction of strength and wisdom. Though I don't know much about Nigeria, this poem would make anyone feel proud to have Nigerian ancestry. There is so much passion in these lines; well done!
Your pride in your nation comes through so proudly. Good write - a 10.
