What's Wrong With The World? ? Poem by Oluwatobiloba Kolawole

I hate  political conversations
Especially ones about our dear nation
Should I start with the politician's lies
Or society's bias?
Yes, I am young and I don't know much
But did you see how hard she clenched her purse?
Youths wanna be big
But don't want to stoop to dig
Trying to look for shortcuts to success
That carries no stress
Men and women in uniform always forget life is A boomerang
they think they can play God cos they've got big guns
Our government claim they don't have enough resources to help us all
but go the extra mile to fund meaningless wars
Humans have allowed their love for innovation to devour them
so much they have failed to acknowledge what they have become
People are so quick to praise loyal partners
Is Cheating acceptable and accessible now?
Politicians love  using tragedies to stay relevant
making false promises to win people over
Countries can't fix the war on their soil
but go around bombing other countries
to steal their resources and destroy innocent lives
for their financial gain
I see you lot who embrace our black culture
but keep quiet when it comes to our struggle
You can't choose when to be black sweetie
I don't know why Vloggers brag about their good deeds
Don't get me wrong, I am always moved by  your touching videos
but you shouldn't film the vulnerable
for your views
The internet has  succeeded in painting the perfect body for its audience
that people feel they would be rejected if they don't meet the society's standards
We look upso much to celebrities
because they are reflections of who we want to be
instead of using our little time for our development


Don't get me wrong
I know and understand my flaws

O.K
