out to people
I would first make myself
a gift worthy of honour
I would package myself
with honours and values
that are irresistible
to the eyes of the kings
I would grace the neck
that wears me
and make men bow
to the head that wears me
I would protect safely
the feet that wears me
and exiled cold
from the body I cover
before I give myself
out to people
I would first make myself
not just a gift worthy of honour
but also a king-size gift.
*African youth, we have a long way to go to meet up with the challenges before us so as to be able to cope with our future. Let us not just sit there and cry that our elders are corrupt, but let us through personsal development take the lead also. This challenge might lead to a pool of opportunity if we face it. We can't sit down here begging the developed world to help us when we have not helped ourselves by still sitting in the courtyard of mediocrity and nonchalant attitude. Stand up with me to take the lead.
