MAIN POEM
SLOGAN;
A Dry and Wet ground we don't step on, Darkness and Light we don't
see, where are we?
Let there be PEACE let there be LOVE. POET 3; Man invented the GUN to bring Peace, but the same GUN is killing and finishing his race. He invented the Vaccine to cure POLIO, and some people say, it has brought HIV/AIDS that is finishing our Generation. For how long shall this LOST Generation be LOST? SLOGAN; We must, yes must, eradicate and bring to extinction these deadly wounds wherever they take ROOT.
POET 1;
NELSON MANDELA said, "if we follow our MIND and not our BLOOD,
then we are going to end the conflict within us". SLOGAN; You and me, I mean you, can change the world and bring solutions to the problems we face. Come let us reason together. POET 1; The problems of man have gone, gone higher than Mount Kilimanjaro. Mans expectations cannot meet solutions to his own problems. Who is to be blamed for this.......... tell me who? SLOGAN; You and me are to be blamed for this. Because we have destroyed our own Heritage. POET 2; The world we live in is not the problem, but the people who live in it. For we have been holding the Neutral Ground for so long. MAHATMA GHANDI said, ALL TOGETHER; "An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind". POET 3; When I look at the world today, my BONES crush, crushing each other as if I am a skeleton. Is there hope for this generation? This generation will finish as fast as it came. Is Technology helping to alleviate the problems we face or worsening them? POET 1; Our society is Flooded. Flooded with Child Abusers who have no mercy. With their Evil minds they are Destroying, Destroying this Generation. But what are you doing about it to save our innocent SOULS? Let us hear and listen to the words of the wise old man. OLD MAN; Mwebana Aha (my children). Njebeniko (can you tell me), what is this I am seeing? Am I dreaming? Look at how the world has changed. Mbulayi - tell me what has gone wrong to this Generation? Shuwa-shuwa instead of having a lot of explanations to give to you my head is now full of questions and surprises. Look at the land, much of it is now covered by Graves. Very soon the Generation will have no land to build their homes on. I had a very good friend rich and famous, but I am told the task force pounced on him. I asked why they said "NCHEKELELO"(corruption) Look at my fellow old men with their grey hair. Instead of helping these young children they are now destroying their future. Aneba Bantu (my people) . Mbulayi (can you tell me), what has happened to RIGHT and WRONG? What are we going to achieve from this generation that will count as SUCCESS? Because whatever we accomplish is against our own well being. No wonder Africa is shaped like a Question mark (?) POET 2; Our value has dropped, dropping like a Dead Log. Even a Dead Log can have value than us because we can use it for making Fire. We have EYES to see but we cannot see, EARS to hear but cannot hear, a MOUTH to speak but cannot speak, HANDS to work with but cannot work. But WHY? SLOGAN; We Youths are Leaders of Today and not Tomorrow because Tomorrow is made Today.
POET 3;
A Chameleon and a Tortoise moves, moving slowly with Patience that
not even a Human being can understand.. But, they reach their
destination. Why can't we learn something from these small
Creatures? SLOGAN; "STOP Corruption, HIV/AIDS, Tribalism and Child Defilement or else AHA" LAST SLOGAN; Let us Eliminate these Evils away from our Generation or else will FINISH aha Kaleza Shuwa Napali Amai.
