Kwame Nkrumah Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLIMNOPFQR STMU

The only irroko found in our basin forestA
Poised of wisdom and unityB
The sacred saviour of the dark raceC
Embedded rock of our water tableD
Quenching the unflinching thirstE
Hidden past treasureF
The mucilaginous that never lost it's slimeG
As slimy and glutinous as your nameH
Capable of binding the black soilI
Your momery speaks your deedsJ
Posterity judging your footprintsK
The fisherman that never went home with fishL
Untill the street orphan is stomachfullI
Your absence was the blow that distorted our facesM
And sent us to our kneesN
You gave us fertile grounds to yield your fruitsO
But we descended to beg on the white streetsP
You asks us to be each brothers keeperF
But we chose to hob nobs with the pointed noseQ
Masters in the past now like servants in dog chainsR
Did we heed to your sermonsS
Your sleepless nights are now nightmaresT
Forever ever are your missesM
Our nation's first sonU
