| Francis Otole |
His insistence
On nonviolent resistance
Made him venerable
Among the vulnerable.
Major role
Against colonial rule
Cutting foreign occupation short
Without a single shot.
A revolution without bloodshed
An evolution with no shot heard.
Global icon
In the nonviolent lexicon
Father of Nations
Beyond human imagination.
