The Revolutionaries Poem by Ayodele Akinmeji

Oust the king for he is cruel!
Reject him for our rights he denied
Let the sceptre from him been taken
Our lands and toils hasn't he exploited?
His dogs he has sent after us to bite
The fruits of our lands from us taken
And with our labours he prospers.


Together we shall march forward
Until the mantle is from him seized
The crown shall be reclaimed from him
And shall be given to a righteous
Who shall make the wrong ways right
We know him or his righteousness not
None has tested his ability on a throne
None has examine him use the sceptre

But a change is all we need to flourish
And with it comes everything
The day is nigh when the sceptre
shall be rightly wielded
Oh change, how sweet thou sound!
