From within she called out my name <br />the more she screamed, it seemed she sunk <br />no one, not even me to pull her up <br />she called on, but I was too deaf t o hear <br /> <br />In pain and agony she called on, one hand up <br />wishing her voice any one could hear <br />but Oh! the weeping, the wailing, the the drowning groans <br />the tears that gushed frely, with no soul to comfort <br /> <br />she winced for the pain of a malfunctioning heart that seldom beats <br />help! help! ! help meeeeeeeee! ! ! ! the voice, the bleeding heart <br />amidst the fractious fracas I felt perturbed <br />a nation so rich could also cry? <br /> <br />Nigeria, my nation, my hope, my home <br />dost thou need cry thus, ere I here? <br />here am I, Nigeria's call to obey <br />to fight to the finish the war of our fathers <br /> <br />Cry no more, for he that thou callest have heard <br />I am on my heels your errand to run <br />for ther's yet a breed of honest blood alive <br />willing to conquer our battles for us<br /><br />micheal udenyi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nigeria-s-call-obey/
