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 !
