Our Real Strength Poem by Babatunde Aremu

Most think our real strength
Is what we possess
Many are sure
That our strength
Is in skin pigmentation
A lot sees their tongues
As the correct strength
Many rely on divisiveness
As weapon of strength
No, our bullets, rockets, grenades,
Militancy, terror, hatred,
Corruption, nepotism, religion,
Who controls power or mot
Are really not our strength
Our strength lies in brotherliness,
Unity of purpose,
Selfless service to mankind
Resolve to dissolve boundaries
Making the world a better place
For generations yet unborn
We can only boast of real strength
When we are at peace day and night
That's what real strength is
