Afriyouths Feeds! Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by akinbo a. a. cornerstone, Nigeria Jul 30, 2004
Peace & Conflict   Poetry

  

Afriyouths Feeds! When will it become a dress...
The cotton field produces
What will cover us while the
Field covers our dead bodies;

What will the water say to the fire...
The stomach can stomach all
That gets cooked with water
As a source of replenishment;

Where will you be...
Knowing that all you have ever
Gave the world was lies and hate
That bears destructions as wards;

Who cares what the world becomes...
The youths of today who know that
The future of the Universe is in the
Hands of this generation.

This is so moving. No moatter where one reads it from it moves the soul. I believe that anger is justified when it becomes unjust pain. THen there is nothing left to feel and the innocence of youth lhas no dream to believe in. We must help the youth to deal with the anger that many are experiencing as we make a great effort to change the future of the world.



Debase

The illustration the picture in this poem depicts could be real but it debases African youth.
