My Hometown

The days of the direful calamities are over,
and the worries about dangers at night are gone;
the hours of arrows during the day are halted,
and the fear of secret traps is become a history.
The gigantic iroko tree is cut down;
the great pillar upon which happiness rested,
which was ruined by them that abhorred my hometown
for so many years is restored.
My peace, my joy, my happiness, my relief;
I heard them singing in my hometown, Which connotes:
the strongest lion, the deadly snake, the monstrous creature,
and the mighty elephant had been brought to submission.
As the branches from my hometown
fragmented trunk sway and wave from one edge to edge,
and put forth the most beautiful blossom;
the adversaries gilt has been taken off the gingerbread.
The enemy of my hometown, your time is up,
and the days of your brutality and atrocity are over;
your period of productivity is not extant;
the why you are hooded with garment of chagrin, and disdained robe.
My hometown, live with a sense of joy and inner-security;
a sense of greatness and strong protection;
in an insecure world of hatred and horror;
live o my hometown, in this world, with a sense of power and delight.
