The Nation's Light Poem by Adesola Tomilade

Afterthought
This is a poetic sequel to a story I am trying to 'construct' about the perils and challenges of obeying the Clarion call in my country Nigeria. The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme has come under intense criticism in recent times, when many Corps Members posted to different states to serve their fatherland were brutally murdered in times of crisis, and were wickedly accused of various wrongdoings, although they are mostly innocent.
These were supposed to be the most protected youths in Nigeria, for they carry the Nation's light. But Unfortunately, they are not.
That is the situation these enterprising youths have found themselves. And something must be done about it on time, or else the essence of the program is defeated.
