Poem
The times are fast changing The certainty of season is evading The sure signs of weather has for long disappeared Along with our cultures and moral values has smeared Oh Arike! may my eyes not see the evil the day brings The scorching sun burns so hot at day The chilly cold oppresses no less at night The youths and young ones has missed the way Groping blindly around with vain confidence in the light Oh Arike! may you not be deaf to the wise words of age Life in the world now seem strange Young men move around deranged Treating our words with hapless disdain.

Nevertheless,it does matter in the end,b'cos we have been there in your shoes. Arike! Arike!! Arike!!! Let it be known that we played our part Before the time finally changes,and the certainty of season departs Heed our words and desist from your actions He that has got ears,let him hear...
