An Aborted Generation

We are a generation aborted after birth
though the elders tells us that
we are the custodian of a brighter tomorrow,
that is false, the truth is,
we met our future in the hands of politians.
Money
is more valuable than
life
never will we believe that
we are a generation aborted after birth!

Sad but realistic-dear Adeleke, life is a gift and your life is in your hands, never believe otherwise. Tiaua.

An idea well developed. But do not lose hope...politicians rule but we are free to stand up to what we believe in. No, we are not spent and lost - we fight to live another day. // paul
