(TO MY UNBORN CHILDREN)
Tell my unborn children that bleed for them today.
I plant and water the seeds of their future with my blood, sweat, and tears.
I moved ahead of them, under the sun and in the rain, taking the beatings and blows of the opposition just to fix their positions.
Tell my pregnant wife that I may not come back home,
She should plead on my behalf to our unborn children that I died for them to grow from the ashes of my death.
Tell my loving husband that Esthers and Deborahs can no longer slay at a homeless house.
Tell my court that I cannot bring our unborn children to an unmade home.
If I fight and strive for a promised heaven, how much more a given Nigeria?
This is the only home I have, hence I bleed, sweat, and cry.
