The Gladiator of no distant past
Who fought for liberation with a distinction pass
Wake up now, and resurrect in our land
Before things degenerate beyond our hand
Nkrumah, the father of independence
Now is the time for your kind of intelligence
Wake up now and resurrect in our land
Before we bite more than we can chew
The shining star and the golden voice
Your type is what we crave as an urgent choice
Wake up now and resurrect in our land
Our continent needs an urgent fix


Nkrumah’s legacy in GHana is a mixed one. He was perhaps too ambitious in wasting ghana’s money and resources on Guinea and other countries. But this is a great poem, nevertheless.
there’re lots of political parties in ghana who name themselve after nkrumah but I think it should not be by mere name, it shd be by example. Nkrumah was not perfect, but he did what he thougth was right at the time
