Let A Young Boy Thrive Poem by Olaleye Azeem Oladipupo

When the murky narrow road seem wide as it comes
When the Sun and Moon agree and come as one
Let the dark bleak sky shed it tears
and remain as before bright and clear

When all the goods are sold and the market is calm
When the wild beast come begging for grass
Let the chained tongue cry again for its rights
and the blind see through the realities of life

When the light arise and chase the dark far away
When the dirty linen come to be like snow once again
Let the Bat hang upright and not bury its face from the Sun
and let the croaking Frog sing a soft pleasant song

When power lies no longer in the palms of the mean
When Life stops whipping with hardship and ruin
Let the world come together and preach against strife
and let a young boy rise up and thrive
