How I wonder?
And hà ve reason to wonder!
Parents wallow in abject dearth!
‘This instead of that
That instead of this’
Death instead of life
Failure instead of passing
Being used momentarily
And walking blindly!
They brag, ‘Y2K’
Ignored ethnics that sustain life
Choose death through warring paths
So fragile,
So weak,
No vision!
What a world of niccompoons!
Coupled with rights!
A series of child marriages
A clad of illicit and toxic abuse
One after the other
Compete to commit suicides!
Teachers have been emasculated
Parents drifted aside
Police overwhelmed by unruly
The future is neigh
But looks bleak!
Hope is lost
Active generation undersiege!
Parents losing hope
Cultural hope fizzling away
Drama allover!
The churches have been usurped
The usurper looks puzzled
Seems a myriad of them
Turning round like exchanging a liqour bottle
Play station, tik toking, and premier league!
The core business is like a crow
Pandemonium characterise life
Truly, we are heading into an abyss!
The who is who
Let’s return to the sages
Where the rains started hitting us
Redeem the free falling world
Of condemned generation
With ill-fattened priorities!
