Indeed The Hen Gets Wet Poem by Okuola Paul Abiola

Your life, you spent
That strife might depart from our tent
You went extra mile
That we might enjoy eternal smile
Indeed the hen gets wet
Is its feathers that cover its sweat

Our tomorrow
You painted with your rainbow
Your time and leisure
You spent nurturing our future
Indeed the hen gets wet
Is its feathers that cover its sweat

Our plain, you intend to re-brand
And make the new promised land
Class, you strive to annihilate
Sex, you maintained shouldn't stop us from being mate
Indeed the hen gets wet
Is its feathers that cover its sweat

You shall forever remain in our heart
You fought to avoid things falling apart
Forever, you are our true hero
Go Madiba, go rest where there is no more sorrow
Indeed the hen gets wet
Is its feathers that cover its sweat
