Poetic Justice: Nnamdi Kanu, A Powerful voice from Detention

Day in, day out
From detention I speak,
I am a righteous soul
My family knows this,
My friends told me so
My followers trust
And proud of me.

Once again,
I will be laughing
In the sad gift
Of a dark courtroom
Filled with spite
Of a gentle old beast
With sullied hand
With ugly mind.

Today in detention,
Punished for who l am,
For my people murdered in cold blood
For standing to say no
For frequent slaughtering of the innocent

Such a time of it they had, to amend
Such a time of it they had, to value human lives
But gave away what they have,
Not known how to keep it

The ribbon has been crossed
The artificial oneness
Must be shattered
The arranged marriage Must disintegrate
So that...life will be
Live and let live
So that earth
Will not curse man
Of being unfair to earth

Oh yes
Beast like they are
Killing, maiming the innocent
Now the burning heat of the day,
Grew wider
Like hot afternoon sun
Burnt lives, skin to sorrow

Don't forget
I am the shield
The comforter
The councillor
The voice,
That covers many lives & skin

The truth remains
That the skin burnt
The lives murdered daily
Are the flesh of my people
The oil, in thy food,
Are the blood of my people
Brimming up
Day and night,
Crying for justice

And that, if it overflows
Or rain as clouded
All mouth will be filled with blood
Because mouth must vomit all
That have been eaten
For the owner must Surely take back
All that have been taken

Hear me, hear me
Thee, the chosen men
Every minutes, every hour
Do the needful
Remain fearless
Remain resolute
Relent not
Succumb not

The hour has come,
The cloudy day,
The thunderstorm,
The lightning strike
The rainfall

In one voice you shall speak,
In one heart you shall work
In one command you shall stand.

Keep on, keeping on,
Freedom awaits us all
Now, that the going,
get tough,
We the toughs
Get going,
To get the land
Where unit stand
By all that oneness is
Where integrity upholds
By all that a nation is
Where right is given
By all that freedom is
Where justice reign
By all that law is
Where we shall sing
And shout,
All hail Biafra,
Land of the rising sun!!!
