The soldier's creed
Akporoghene Wuru 1988 (Warri)
There are better days ahead
there is a crown of glory
to be placed on our head
though the battles are fierce
defeat shouldn't come to our consciousness
being in the front line
is more words can tell
for when the first bullet is shot
we might be the first one
to fall to the floor
our enemies positioning are not always
known
invisible at times
it is difficult to hide from it
sometime like snipers
they shoot at their targets
with few survivals
they get into your sanity
and getting them out
is more than a probability
but if we are unmovable
focus with consistency
we might live to tell about it
the worst is over
getting into the battle
was actually the worst part of the battle
for we entered into new grounds
without whispers nor advisers
even though we can't always figure it out
we will still see the better days ahead
over our adversities
since the enemies couldn't snatch our lives
