Green-White-Green Poem by Idowu AdegbileroIwari

Green upon green united by white
Food upon food connected by peace
How precious you are like green, Nation?
Dear Homeland,
You are like an ensemble of precious stones
Emerald united by jasper so is thy colour
Rubies all over your land
Minerals lodged beneath your earth
If you are a coast of gold one wonders at times
Arise o patriots and company
Let the banner of your homeland hoist
Fly it high above the nations'
By your character and feats O statesmen!
Swing, fly, O flag by the pride of your children
