Where Do We Go From Here Poem by Timothy Ogunsakin

Where Do We Go From Here

Rating: 3.5


Where do we go from here
Where do we go?
Where the future is punctured
A little ray in the tunnel
Cannot guarantee the dulce of morrow
The weak dying every week of starvation
Where the rich are like the shadows of fraustration
Where do we go?

Where do we go from here
Where the giant is giant than the society
Where lives are drenched in horror
And innocents shivering of insurgent
Where parents are scarey of western education
The dreams of the youth are fantasy
Where do we go?

Where do we go from here
Where some have wreecked while trying
Some alredy gone while struggling
Where the graduates are laidoff
And are casualties of tomorrow
Where do we go?

WE are the future of today
Our lives must not waste away
Not be punctured but furniture
With virtue and beautitude
RAISE US to fish, and not deep us in beach.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hmmn! Does our leaders have any plantform for the youth? Some would say what about NYSC? NYSC is not a platform for the youth but a means of harmonizing the different ethnic groups, of course we all know how Copers are loosing their lives just because they want to serve their fatherland. Our vision towards this song is to have a new Nigeria whereby the leaders would have a good platform for youth as well as every graduate such that even if you have not secure a white scholar job, you would be able to boast of your own business, as a result of the honorarium from the federal government for being a graduate. This would obviously reduce robbery, corruption, idleness, sex business etc among the youth. Our mission is to adherent to achieving this change. ALL WE NEED IS A CHANGE. No matter what it will take, we are ready to give, we all, are ready for the struggle for this NEW NIGERIA.

the future is bright sir, except for the meddlesome giant ugly shadows that won't give way to this light.
