Beloved fatherland

  haikus or haiku) :

A Japanese poem in three lines, the first and last consisting of five morae, and the second consisting of seven morae, usually with an emphasis on the season or a naturalistic theme.

I wanted to step out of the box with a different theme. 

This particular one was inspired by my country Nigeria. It was particularly fun to come up with the perfect syllables and still tell a story about what I love about Nigeria.

My color's bright gleam

... The masses loud, proud voices... 

Amusing banters.

Cultural beauty

Elegant diversity 

Unending beliefs. 

Hassle and bustle

Dusting off defeats, “ We move” 

Just one goal, don't stop. 

Past heroes, we praise

All who spoke for us, we stan

 Relentless courage 

For tribes, we lost count 

Five-two-zero languages

Together, we stand!
