African Youth On the Pins and Needles

African youth on the
Pins and needles, 
Pains...huh!
So painful ...Yooh!. 
African youth shout 
Shout loudly... Eh!

Crying in exposing  the power hunger, 
Which is called selfishness in tongue 
Of genial. 

Some people out there are hungry for powers, 
Some politicians out there  want to die on the 
Golden soffers,

Reason why we can witness how  some sons, 
Daughters and Grandchildren bleeding terrible,  
African young lions could be
Roaring loudly by now, 
African youth could be holding  the stick of 
Command by now, 

It is  time to unite and stand, 
Standing claiming our rights peacefully, 
Crippling due to our division and selves 
Concurrence as the African youth, 

Remember,we are from different African 
Counties but the  real brothers and sisters in 
Our youth journey to uplift the
African continent.  

Some very old leaders  who could be at
Home with their  great grandchildren, 
They continue to destroy the African
 Key positions.  

Brilliant African youth is so sabotaging,  
For some secret agenders which 
We must find out as quick as possible. 

Majority of seniors are very riches 
And continue to destroy the little that left. 
Some selfish leaders sign 
Contracts of 30 years, 
Divide all the finances, 
Forgeting that they will go to rest  soon  
And  leave the heavy luggages
On the heads of their juniors. 

Reality of the very old lions 
Which  don't have teeth to bite, 
Nails to cupture 
But they still remaining  on the thrones 
And end up being mocked by some hyenas 
Because many of them are captured. 

Try your juniors and wait for the good results 
Before you go to rest soon.
