It is our attitude towards our imperfection

That shapes us as Homo sapiens

If one could take their time to

Think of how significant our current youth are

Only then will they realise that our future is our youth

 

As I travel to the market in the Cab

I analytically observe how these humans

Interact and live as a whole

On my right was a horde of young boys

Intoxicating themselves irresponsibly

On my left was a young girl in what I

Would call a School uniform

Torn apart that what was only left was pieces of

Cloth covering her knuckle knees and greyhounded chest

                                

I sit in the cab wondering if this could recur

What would our own country if not the world be like

In a decade?

 

Souls are lost beyond rescue

Souls are demotivated and uninspired

Souls are deteriorated beyond recognition

Souls are broken beyond repair

Souls are extinguished and have vaporised

Thinking of how these deteriorated souls are the solution

To the coming generations

Our Youth needs Leaders to lead and Empower them

Our youth needs to be refined

And our youth needs to be nurtured

 

Poverty, lack of funding for schools, disarrayed home environments, lack

of exposure to technology all impact the endeavour to educate

children negatively.
The best schools too cannot overcome some of the deterrent placed in

front of the students that amble through their doorway.

Violence, hunger, alcohol, Child neglect, gangs, violence, drugs

all have a consequential impact on how children learn and grow

 

Now by a mere look of the eye

You and I can see that the youth is gradually injecting themselves

With the mentality that education is not important

If you and I think that education is not important, then let’s try

Illiteracy and see where that gets us.

 

Let us make our future now,

and let us make our dreams tomorrow’s reality.

You may say that I’m a dreamer,

but surely I’m not the only one.

I hope someday you’ll join us.

And the world will be a better place
