Poetic Justice: Nnamdi Kanu The Great Sailor who has Sighted the Promise Land
The sailor appears like a prisoner
A prisoner of conscience
Held in a filthy dark room
Where the windows are shut tight
Against the sharp sounds of
The wind blowing forcefully
To cheer odurs of the room
Yes, l am a sailor, the great sailor of Biafraland
Who has been held captive for months
Who has never begged for life
And will never beg for life
But holds the sky, the cloud
The sun, the moon and the stars
The sharks of the sea
The whales of the ocean
Witnessed your presence
A worthy sailor
who has sworn the oath of leadership
To live and die with the ship
Never to retreat or surrender
Never to give up until freedom is sightedA ship that cannot capside or be hijacked
Not by any man born of a woman
Oh yeah the enemy
The killer that walks in the dark
Never ignore this right
To do what you know best
To play your favorite music
The very best track you enjoy
Of right abuses
Of innocent killings
Of power tussle
That now, a daily dance steps
That entertains the blood thirsty
Yes, the pirate hand
The same face, the same name
That stands tall and huge
As a stumbling block on the sea
Looking to hijack or capside his ship
Either from the East, the west
From the north or the south of the ocean
Am l wrong, when l said
No to injustice?
Am l wrong, when l said
No to the killings of my people?
Am l wrong, when l said
No to divide and rule?
Am l wrong, when I say
I am here to save my people?
How l wish, if you knew
That l have an obligation, a mission
To liberate my people from slavery
To avenge the blood of my people
Oh yeah , hear this
Prince and princess
Hale and hearty
Brave and brilliant
Young and fresh
The enemy is is restless
Awake at night, roaming the dark
Killing in cold blood
In every street of darkness
But Jan is awake, ready to defend
Anguishly waiting for revenge
And for the triumphant trumpet
Of the ship sailing victoriously
To the land, of the rising sun !!
All hail Biafra, land of The risng sun!
