Great mound higher than Achillean myth's slain
Long toil harder than Odysseus path's lane
Truth in shade past Alexandrian tomb
There are cart loads of old charnel ashes
All about scales and splints of mouldy bones
Once living Igbo, Ewe, Yoruba men from whom
Once resolute courage, aspiration, strength flashes
Once on their back was path built for thee, thy stepping stones
Too Hear America!
