Heroes get
remembered
But legends
never die.
I have
called you legend, soulja
Now I assert
there’s no reason to deny.
You rode
the back trail of the heroes past,
Went a
step further and raised the bar.
As reality
forges itself into form
It calls
forth a nation of soul discipline,
A people
of matchless culture
Of an especial
variety of novelty.
A race
hacked off the phenomenal,
A generation
raised by the supernatural.
Among these,
you shall not find the wanton
Neither the
rash of heart.
A species
of individuality, not hard-bitten
But, a man
who plays his part.
Their genius
flows like a stream
Their creativity
like a mighty river.
These are
today’s hope and dream
Bearing gifts
like arrows in a warrior’s quiver.
Borne on
the wings of faith
They soar
effortlessly, in grace,
Above every
imaginable restraint.
True-born
souljas who never break rank
Armed with
ambition for armored tank.
In the
gathering of the eagles,
An army
of souljas who are above all, regal.
As overwhelming
as sand on the seashore,
Survivors
of the sickest ill turn;
Legends vocalizing
with the voice of one.
Akpan
