If I have the right to write
I will write about our compatriots
who obey the clarion’s call
to serve their nation with lips’ love,
stale strength and faint faith.
If I have the right to write
I will write about our frontiers
who make the labors of past heroes
as useless as futile.
Serving heartlessly with hearts.
If I have the right to write
I will write about our leaders
who are leading us to an utopian destination
sightlessly with sight and mightlessly with might
We are, but people blessed
heading for freedom, peace and unity
focused to have our right to write.
-Emeka Samuel Oluka
