We Bow Poem by Bamisaye Adeniran

And now we all bow, yes we're bowing out
We've come a long way…
Let the compulsory uniform take its leave
And the head-dress removed finally.

Thanks all the same, what an experience it's been.
What a privilege to answer the clarion call
A call by the giant of Africa
What an honor…thanks to the giant for this honor.

Now the clarion call's expired
And the jungle boot will be retired
The crested vest takes cover
What happens next?

We've come all the way
Forsaking our mother-land just for the call of our fatherland.
Thanks to our heroes examples…
