Note: I am not responsible for writing the poem you are about to read but my PEN is.
And for fellows who would get to read and not understand. The Last line of every verse as a conclusion to the afore lines is sarcastic.
Nigerian Youths Are Lazy
Before our wards' step we start
And to the least of ours is theirs
And we feed and drink on our tears
To loose a mate in wars leading to no where
Yet, Nigerian youths are lazy
We are the voice of the leaders
We take over grounds before their arrival
We are sent before priests And kings
To plead for the sake of all needs
Indeed, Nigerian youths are lazy
Who would call the names of the labourers
And outlist the names of our fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers
Whose strength and powers
Were used to stand sky scrapers
In fact, Nigerian youths are lazy
We rise before sunset
And watch the sun stare angrily at us
With no shade for all sake and work
Keeping us awake to watch the moon rise till it's lost
Of cause, Nigerian youths are lazy
It took pains to forsake home
For social lost as a goal
For academic grade to be own
Sticking focus to white woods times ago
Oh no, Nigerian youths are lazy
Schools certify some of us to roam the street
The street we thought our hope would be
We lost the job cause our wards were but not rich
The street we built with strength and skill
Still, Nigerian youths are lazy
Our contemporaries in sister countries bask
On annual pay as youths
Even without youth copping for a year like we do
Expecting pays that never came
Unemployment driving us back to the street where we left.
To make obvious the punishment of Adam on us, we till the soil feed
Please join me to say "Nigerian youths are lazy"
Osas Nosa Justice.
