Title: Arise ye soldiers
Poet: Abeki Vincent Oyintonye

Flesh of fierce humans thrown
at the dashboard of hope
Wails and tears of mothers
rushing like a stream of waters

Grenades and bullets flying over heads
able bodied soldiers scattering for dear lives
Oh soldiers of our mother land
How long will you remain so feeble?

Arise and protect the land
for this is your humble duty
Arise o vicious men of immense strength
for the liberation of the land
hangs on your sacrifice

Be courageous for victory is yours
We shall sing your praise
and merry at your conquest
grand banquet awaits you all
