18 Years Old And You Are Already Old! Poem by Edward Kofi Louis

18 Years Old And You Are Already Old!



18 years old and you are already old!
Because, you do have 3 children;
Your first child was at 15! !
And now, at 18 you already have 3 children.

How many children do we expect from you at the age of 36? !
The early bird is already tired;
Your wings are now very Weak,
Are you sure you can fly again? !

18 years old with 3 children,
Able to live above water! !
With Poverty as your food;
No money in the house.

Oh life!
Mankind,
Young! !
But already old;

Young girl,
But already looking like an old woman! !
At 18 years old with 3 children;
Is there any hope for you?
