Cry For Education Poem by jalloh Alusine

Cry For Education

Rating: 0.5


All of them are running after you.
i can't because i don't have money.
My parents cannot provide me with a penny.

I pass through schools you are there.
I pass by the library, you are there.
I pass by the officers, you are there.
Every where you are there.

I came across students gambling.
I ask myself if this is the place where mr and mrs parent send them to?

I walk up and down yet still no opportunity for me.
I try O I try I cry!
Some have what I want but miss use it.
EDUCATION! EDUCATION!

J, my advice is to stop writing right now. Give your ego a rest and start reading good contemporary poets. There are numerous anthologies you might enjoy. As you read, you'll be learning, not so much how to copy but what's possible, and your poetry will improve after some deep immersion in the works. Nothing in, nothing out, that's a truth you need to believe. JC
