POETRY: SHALL THE YOUNG EVER GROW?

Shall the young ever grow?

The young shall grow

So I was told

The young shall grow

A liar he is anyone that says so

My country is 58 years’ old

Yet no sign of growth

The baby still crawls in its woes

Corruption, Unemployment and other stories untold

The young shall grow

Who says so?

Can the youths grow?
when power is not near their hold

Doomed by the government of the old

Sabotaging the glorious future, they which to behold

How shall the young then grow

To become the leaders of tomorrow?

When the key to Education has been stolen

replaced with money in accounts forever frozen

How shall the young grow?
When the giants have refused to go

Falsifying ages to remain in offices

Shutting the doors of employment in our faces

Shall the young ever grow?

No! No! No!

Maybe not now

Became the giants keep trampling them down.
