We Promise Poem by CHINWENWA IBEH

We are going to the world unknown.
Where we can build our own.
A world we have never been before.
A place we will find our future.
A world that will make us grow.
Grow like men and women to show.

We are going to the world unknown.
A place we have never been shown.
A place we promise not to be robbers,
Not to be murders,
Not to be prostitutes.
Just to show what we constitute.

We promise to be good elders.
Be leaders of the world.
To learn how to build.

We promise,
To show how we can rise
Rise to the top
To stay forever on top.
We promise
That we will always sacrifice
Sacrifice to the elders,
To our mothers,
To our fathers,
Sisters and brothers.
Even to the children
Whenever, wherever they need us.

We promise,
To be what they what us to be.
Men and women of good personality
Men and women of good integrity.
To be good Accountants.
To be good Consultants.
Bankers and Doctors.

We promise not to be lazy
Nor drink to be crazy.
We promise to absent from sex.
Get no body to vex
We promise as youths from college school,
To keep our head cool.
We promise our soul, mind and body
To be responsible somebody.
