Arise Ghana Youth For Your Country
Written By Poet Nazir
Arise Ghana youth for your country
Your nation is now dressed in a tattered devotion
Trying so hard to call upon citizens to recollect the wasted sweat of your forefathers
Whose blood spilled and yielded sons who love possession
Than their country filled with repercussion
Lavishing amidst the outcry.
Arise Ghana youth for your country
They are called the men in suit
All knowing, magnificent creatures born misleaders
Thrown a seat carved with gold; blessings from the gods
Tagged torned and in odds
Love is fire ablaze in their hearts in persuit.
Arise Ghana youth for country
How do we live as a nation cursed with blessings?
When all we care about is worship
But forget to reason with the only chip
Where have we gone wrong?
This sufferances will dwell here for how long?
Arise Ghana youth for your country
The nation you loved
Is a body that borrows to feed your growth
A comic stage of desperate actors
Enriched abilities
Bewitched mentalities.
Arise Ghana youth for your country
Citizens proud and sound swelling of itchy boils
Our misleaders and our toils
Fusing hope and pressing our wound
Milking our wallets
Fusing hopes and pressing our wound.
