For my country - An original

We are trinkets, we are souvenirs
We are saucers with rich veneer
Thickets, treescape, fallowed land that we hold dear.
Liquid gold in earthen holes
Industrialization we watch unfold
Moonlit moments of young and old
Sacred stories our fathers told.
Nigeria… Nigeria…
Green-agriculture, white-purity
Wazobia… wazobia…
Beauty in our unity
Giant of Africa
Cultural diversity
Lassa or Ebola
We’ll rise above adversity.
