Dr. Nkrumah’s Poem
Very selfless was he
Very thoughtful and undaunting
Optimistic about tomorrow
A visionary
A foundation builder;
For the future he was never going to experience
Yet he gave his all for that
A sacrificial lamb was he
For Ghana and her children
A true definition of a patriot
In the midst of fierce opposition
He soared even higher
Never cared about himself
All that filled his thought was Ghana’s freedom
To sever that umbilical curse of a cord
From the neo-colonialist
To prove to the African
That yes we can !
And trusted as he was
He did it
He lived the dream
He died a fulfilled man.
An epitome of diligence
A demonstrator of intelligence
Full of optimism
Empty of pessimism
Cherished is his legacy
Of patriotism and democracy.
Ayekoo to us all
Long live Nkrumah !
Long live Africa !
Long live Ghana !
Long live Ghanaians !
