Analysis of Falling wall

ADEGBITE EMMANUEL 2000 (OSUN STATE)



Oh! my falling wall
hopefull and hopeless is thee
Robbers and security guard thee
Oh! my falling wall
Liars and deceivers come thy way

No one to return thy glory,
moulders are killed, robbed of truth
There comes in unknown
 time great brick,
to mould thee

Oh! my falling wall
Here comes Ezra, Nehemiah
 Jeremiah
to return thy glory
Which Nebuchadnezzar and Jezebel
have defeated
May there be security and peace
in thee again
May Ezra, Nehemiah and Jeremiah
be filled with power to restructure thee
To return thy strength and honour
 far and near

Oh! thy glory that lieth as leopard
waiting for power, glory, and honour
Oh! may thy ancestors curse
be wiped off
To rebuild, strengthen, and glorify thee
Oh! my falling wall.
