Source Of Development Poem by Theyuz Banda

Malawi, my country
In need of development it is
Is it lacking the source of it? It seems
Plenty of raw materials for development it has
Leaders of tomorrow, where are they?
Nobody is a leader of tomorrow
Today's leaders, where are they?
Nobody is a today's leader
A young person is also a leader.

I am the source of my nation's development
A young person I am
Eager to take part in development activities
Vandalism I call it 'haraam'
Because it retards development
Stealing and corruption I hate
My brain has important ideas, give me a chance
Let me share them with you
Because I am also the source of development.

Give out your hands
Your heart and mind, give it also
Together we feel the development solo
With the elders we do it
Am disabled, but am not unable
Young man, stay stable
From developing, we are coming from
Developed we become with unity
When a you a youth take part in developing your society
To the development activities
You are all welcome.
