A Poem : TURN ON THE LIGHTS…….




The youths are the future
And when you look in this picture I hope you see yourself feature
It is the true course of nature, life’s ordained culture

Our passion is our inspiration, who gives a damn about the torture
Life itself gave us the lecture
It’s our future and we must ensure, that no one can for us insure
This is not about skin texture or more or less about the peer pressure
This isn’t about kind gestures
Those foundations we already punctured
Through experience we’ve gained exposure
History has defined our function; our fathers have given us no option
We would not be held bound by sanctions

From above, this one with a divine auction, the step towards redemption

A sacrifice, the only price
In pride our fathers tossed the dice, ears deafened to our cries
Truth replaced with lies, a house filled with mice, everyone itching for a slice
What a horrible sight, we were born like candles lit at night
Exposing the evil that reigned in the absence of light
With loud screams our fathers yelled “TURN OFF THE LIGHTS”
And so many were left to walk in the dark, to believe it was knowledge we lacked
We grew and became masters in the act, became faster, wiser, joined the pack just so we could stay intact.
But today we have come off age, well trained and too strong to be caged
Not afraid to turn the next page, our hearts are eager for change, our dreams are within range,
It’s time for an exchange; the youths like lions have broken free
And just so the world would see that in our heart we are free
And our minds are made up for real
Together we “TURN ON THE LIGHTS
