PEACE AMONG THE YOUTH

PEACE AMONG THE YOUTH
My pen overflows with ink of flames In its shyness, it is not been discouraged In its anger, it is not blind! And in its fear, it is not deluded! Its disclosures are strokes on those it found guilty Just like strokes of a teacher on his pupils Its word prevail in the minds of million young people Whilst agitating for the generations to come Oh! Now, I take change of my pen! The absence of peace among the youths is dishearten Just like the absence of salt a cooked soup I really need to be given pills of clearance Because this pain in my heart can bear no more! Is it the cause of our leaders, our communities or it’s just us? Well, we all have fallen in the deep hole of this allegation. And my flaming pen will not leave a stone unturned What a peaceful generations it was in the 90s How peace flows like River Niger and River Benue! Just like a ball in a swimming pool What a pity! The “peace” has lost is green light today! Pray thee oh youths of today, tell me why! Peace is not the absence of war But the presence of justice & equity Just like the presence of referee on a football match Its true feature is compromise and understanding Respect for human life and preserving dignity Today, all these are traces of water poured in the basket Our leaders has fed us with lies and deceits Their sugarcane has become bitter And their bitter leaf has become sweet Are we even on their list of priorities? Are they concerned about our future or survival? No! their heart cries Just like a lost ring in the desert. They are forgotten thread is attached to our needles We are people`s children, brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunties Same as they are! I really wish I was born in the early 90s Amidst the true symbols of peace The true heroes of prosperity and unity They were rose amidst the garden of flower. Lions in the jungle So arise oh youth of Today! Arise and place your focus where it should be Arise and let`s fight for the peace of our land We are young, yes we know! But we are young and vibrant, We are young and intelligent Just like a dove amidst the bird Just like a sun amidst the stars The race is for the strong And truly we are young and stronger They have been running the race But all they do is run and rerun without no turning point They only turn at a point of no return Just like a freed caged bird Now it is time for us to run the race It is time will took the bull by his horn It is time we bathed with soap of capability and readiness Leaders of tomorrow – so they call us! But now, we say no! we are leaders of today We reject to be fed with spoon of lies and deceit any longer The tomorrow they told us yesterday is the today we are in! The ideas and values we poses should be seen in us Just like a white short washed with a detergent Like a sunlight in the darkness Like a gold amidst medals We are no more sheep in the jungle We are now warriors on the battle field And we stand to maintain peace among ourselves Because this is just for us, to us and about us And the future is ours to create Now, I feel my pen with ink of patience and hope TAIWO AKOREDE Member , Lagos State Youth Parliament Member, Lagos State Youth Ambassadorial Team Convener, Foundfation for Young Leaders akoredetaiwo.ta@gmail.com 07032933789
