WHERE IS MY COUNTRY?

This is my country!
I can't seem to find any else where
After wishing others were mine
So on this little chair
I sit and stare
Right here.
Luggard's so called mistake in creation
Later became our glorious victory together as a nation.
For a hundred years counting, we've walked and trod through these lonely roads of few smiles,
Yet we smile;
Not because we ever had milk and honey for breakfast
But for our unity, our divides fall apart.
There is so much to our endless past,
First with the Queen and her greed; a direct order from the Bulky-Harm Palace.
Then followed the khaki boys with their feets thundering, LEFT-RIGHT in brutality.
Our greatness together no one should ever put asunder
Not even with the metal sticks or those green-aids; a gift from political and religious bandits.
Our cultures and rich traditions in so many faces they front,
Now all have come to see so clearly that
Our strength are in we the people
Our strength is in our voices singing together
Our strength is in our dancing together
And together we have seen our pride grow into fame like our name.
Though like a tortoise we plod
Yes, I see hope!
