Lord give us Heroes

Lord Give us Heros Give us these days, many heroes for around us are many foes whose gain it is to trunce us and increase our woes their pain hurts more than withlows on all toes Lord give us heroes We have men, so many men But they are not up to ten Who for a cause would be cast into the lion's den Our men & women would rather loot with the pen Than stand in the line to aid their kinsmen Our country need not men but heroes Men who can pick up tools including hoes Who for greater gain can ignore thier loses or woes And so help this country overcome her foes And even vanquish our foes Men abound but heroes are few Heroes are men who stand anew When men give in and withdrew Heroes will put more strain on their arms and sinew We need such men, nay heroes in view. Let there arise in Nigeria an hero here and another there. Would you be our next hero?

The slothful and the spirited

The slothful said in his heart there is a lion on the street I shall be slain without and so he stayed within The spirited said in his heart there is a lion on the street But I am a killer of lions and terror to beasts and so he ventured out The slothful did not sweat nor was he anxious but soon his bread ran out and he did sweat and was anxious The spirited saw the lion and the lion attacked him but he prevailed and overcame the beast and he went about his labour The slothful did hunger and had not He still would not go without for he thought there is a lion in the street, I shall be slain without The spirited returned filled and dignified He said: there was a lion in the street I the killer of lions and terror to beasts did kill the lion and brought its meat to feast

What will be said of you? You may have your life to live and may do as you please You may do just what you like but know this you will be known and remembered for it and so you should be careful for what you do for it will be said of you But what will be said of you? I mind my business and don't care of other men's business I care for other men and seek how to be of help Whichever way you choose is yours but know this Long or soon after you have chosen or done It will be said of you; But what will be said of you? History is kind and history is unkind What doth it matter when I am long gone? Why should I strive do do when I could be at rest? You may do or not do, remember or let me warn you It will be said of you: But what will be said of you? Of these men it will be said: David...He slew Goliath Lincoln...He set slaves free and defended the union Jefferson...He wrote the declaration Jesus Christ...He died to save all I know not that which thou seeks to do but Long or soon after
