Beaten by the rain, scorched by the sun
Struggling for survival
Trying to make ends meet
Uninformed, the cycle becomes vicious
Mistakes are made
Unplanned pregnancies, hasty marriages
Issues arrive
Joy dwindles faster than it came
Uninformed, responsibilities increase
Life must go on
Circumstances present difficult challenges
Choices must be made, actions taken
Consequences naturally follow
Uniformed, the rope becomes too tight
Some consequences horrific, other mild
They become baits for exploitation
People used and dumped
Some gain, others loose
Uninformed, frustration creeps in
They become enemies of their own society
Taking revenge wrongly
Still compounding issues by their mistakes
Will this ever end?
Uninformed, the society suffers
Information is all they need
Empowerment to be free and involved
Inspiration to contribute their quota
Chance to prove they can
The African youth needs to be informed
