"Life as a teen"
Every chance I get,
I use it to look at the trends,
I do not pay attention to issues that are political,
Neither do I associate myself with issues that are economical,
Rather I tend to take a liking in everything that I can impact a difference on,
As a teen,
My brain is considered poor.
- They make people suffer and call it a victorious win,
- Nevertheless, who am I to stand in between?
- I post about ridiculous things happening in the society,
- And people call it crap,
- Whereas a singer sings, the ABCs and they call it rap,
- They say I lack solid grounds to blame the government,
- While they continue feasting like hounds in their big tents,
- Communities are in lack while leaders grab and tuck,
- Politics is no longer about the livelihood of citizens,
- Politicians have turned into farmers changing us into herded hens,
- Snakes have left the forest and managed to book mansions?
- Misguided, we selected hyenas to guard goats,
- Now they are feasting on our throats,
- The elected have selected themselves, earthly gods,
- Making electors their servants in their own compounds,
- News have turned into horror stories,
- Filled with woes and cries,
- However, no one heeds to such calls,
- Even though all that happens is seen and heard,
- The awakening is feared, and all planned actions have been cleared.
I do not believe in the Messiah,
I do not believe in running away to another land,
I might be young but am not giving up my land,
Where are the so-called heroes?
Why do we suffer from issues that had been foretold?
What happened to their remedies of gold?
Who will stand out and be bold,
Who will save us from our very own hold?
Where do we run to, to restore the old?
Why don't politicians care about the people who elect them?
When you elect them, they mind about their families
They forget about the people who gave them powers
Why should we go for elections in every five years?
I therefore decided to mind my business
This people cannot put food on your table
It is wise for people to depend on themselves
- Forgetting the politicians should be prioritized
- The politicians get power to steal
- They have turned public resource into their personal assets
- This has increased the poverty rates in the country
- Our children are frequently chased out of schools
- They get home to face hunger
- Our people are dying on daily basis
- Health care services have been deteriorated
- Why do people steal money meant to improve the health of the people?
It is our role and rise and oppose these acts
The country is milked dry by the hungry leaders
They bring up projects for them to increase corruption
The money set aside to complete the project is stolen
The country is becoming a dumping site of incomplete projects
Why do we have to suffer in our own land?
Public debts have increased
The government is borrowing in every month
- Should we run away from our land?
- I will stand firm to the end
- I know the country will be liberated from the hungry people
- A time is coming when people will stand against such leadership
- Our children will never suffer again
- Public resources will be utilized
- Public health care services will be improved
- And the electorate will be empowered
Such times will never come easily
We should be up to oppose the people in power
The leaders should be caring enough
They should enhance equity in their actions
Why don't they care about our wellbeing despite having given them the power?
