Nigeria Independence Poem by ÏcØn

\"THE JOURNEY TO FREEDOM\" by ÏcØn
 
 
 
Each year marks a reminder
Of a time and a people 
Of diverse culture religion and belief 
Yet one sole aim \'freedom\'
 
The woes of servitude 
Of our great fathers 
Who became victims and hero\'s of wars
Could still be heard 
 
We heard of those who gave up
But the likes of jaja of ogpobo stood firm
We also heard of the Judas 
Whose gr eed made them turn against their people
 
We also heard of discriminations 
Bigotry and Nepotism 
Even to the least of organizations
Where our forefathers worked menial jobs
 
While many died on the way 
And we\'re called fallen hero\'s 
The ones who we\'re left handica pped 
Wished they we\'re long de ad
 
With utmost determination 
In the walk to freedom 
They felt still 
At the end of the storm
