Forgotten Leaders Of Tomorrow by invinzible1: 1:24am On Jul 28, 2015 |
[size=8pt][/size]they say we are the leaders of tomorrow But our tomorrow never comes Sometimes at night I lie awake thinking about my Society my Nigeria the so called Giant of Africa, the so called ikemba of Africa They say our country is a developing country But I say it is a stagnant one Yesterday I wept bitterly When they say our leader is a septuagenarian Oh my country visionlessness is killing Despite the plentifulness of fruits in our Gardens we still strive in misery and poverty We have emaciated bones due to malnutrition The drivers claim they know it all Now they are driving us in the wrong path They are jeopardizing our future We are the forgotten leaders of tomorrow We bear the consequences of the wrongs of Our older generation what have we done What about the peace they promise us What about the the dying children What about the things they say we are to gain Have they forgotten all about the blood they shed What have we done to them Why they have taken our birth right Our future would be determined By our hands. |
