Naked Poetry...

‎ TELL THEM NOW. 

These youth are such in a hurry, 

They don't even remember to chew properly...

They swallow their food only half chewed and it swells their bellies.

These youth are such in a hurry,

They don't even remember how to fetch water...

They run the tap so high on max and screw it back without looking back.

Slow down fast youth, don't forget the dripping tap.

These youth are in such a hurry, 

They don't even remember how to say sorry...

Their western books have taught them to explain...

'I stepped on your toes because your feet lay askew'

Nonsense fast youth! Leave this place and with you take your excuse. 

These youth are in such a hurry,

They don't even remember to pray...

When the going gets tough, they fling their hands up and shout a faithless 'God Dey'! 

These youth are in such a hurry, 

Stop there Mr Man, Young Lady, why are you running?!

Try to save your strength for when something actually chases.
