Together we are 60

 


Together we are 60:

Mother spoke of how, we, once moved by chains,

Became bound by the communion of aggression

Against the common yoke in a common name:

Nigerians - who preached a future 'though pains;

Our heroes past; who fought wars by words.

And today's bond, the birth of that liberation.


Together we are 60.

We remember the white bangles once on our hands;

and had seen the decorative shackles in our minds.

The fabric of colonialism was embroidered by blood

Until Time happened and the Khakis faded away

To democracy's unveiling, and there we have stood Tailoring the Indivisibility of our motherland.


Together we are 60:

We are then named giants of our race

Though we ponder and wipe at a time,

But behold our Freedom so dear

Our diversity our strength, we stand unified

And the struggles of yesterday stands to be remembered

For we live in today of good memory.
