Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

A Graduate With No Future

A graduate with no future
A promise was made from the start 
It was with words of hope 
We felt a future filled with prosperity
From the hope we had with this words 
That was the motivation
We gave all our hearts minds and energy
We spent long years building up with the 
Lessons based from this words 
The schools was the only camp and
There was the chosen ones to teach us 
From class to class 
Level to level 
University to office
There is always this chosen one 
In front of us all this year's 
And with all they taught us 
They always end with same words 
like from beginning
And this words are 
You young ones are the future leaders 
Of Africa 

A graduate with no future
My age grades are above 40's
Alot of us still can't breathe 
We are far from this future leaders
And the more we struggle to get closer
We start disappearing from 
the presence of the surface of our soil
The same soil which gave us 
the hope of a better tomorrow
Alot of us has given up 
Some many are currently doing 
What they never wish to do 
Just for survival 
Imagine a man who studied to be 
A dentist 
Ending up as a bike rider 
There's no hospitals to take them in for work 
Despite we need them 
Alot of us are highly disappointed
With what our economy are becoming
Is difficult to breath in our country presently
Our hopelessness is truly 
currently our reality now
In case you wondering why 
I chose to write about
A graduate with no future
