I see a Nation



I see a Nation by Abayomi HABIB,Nobel laurate

I See a Nation in economic darkness,

How many years will I wait to dance with my country under doom,

CAN We walk on the road to freedom,

When all hope becomes hopeless,

Then I will dance with the people of hope,

Can we dance to the music of the night,

This is my last hope of becoming a personalty of war,

I see peace

Peace has beoome a dancing centre ,

when we walk on the long way to freedom,

And the centre cannot hold itself

Abayomi Habib
