The Descendants Of Change (A Poem For Every Nigerian Youth) by Dawinlove(m): 7:35am On Dec 23, 2017
*The Descendants of Change (not a political term)*


I was born here a day
Grew up to know its name
With little idea in disdain
believing the term "we cannot be great again"
I was part of the problem
Did whatsoever I was pushed to,
I was brainwashed but never knew
They became matters
They keep ruling occupying and taking space
Making me look like a stranger in my own land
I asked my Father why?
He keep responding in fear "power belong to some persons"
They covered the truth and made us fools
No one was ready to fight for the oppress


I realise a day, was ready to stand the gap
Prison was my threat
Tear gas my poison
I became surrounded with special agents
Not for protection but for death
Who will take the step if i let it die?
Yes they say,nothing come easy
My passion keep pushing me
It was my love for my country


I finally realised
I was enslaved
I read, read and learn
The solution was right there
I became fearless
I was never confused
They were threatened, paid me to quench my taste
I rejected, the passion in me was driving
I begin to speak up
I used my own weapon of war
The social media and other things my generation own
I stop believing in past leaders
I am wise now
I was never part of them
I am of age some of there children
So i stop believing in them


We are modern they say
I choose to do it the modern way
We hold the key to the future they say
I must not let that saying pass me by
They say,the young shall grow
Now we are here
I believe in the now
So let me decide myself
i wil vote 2019
