When the Youth Speaks In Tongues

when the youth speaks in tongues

since our elders finds it difficult
to guide the creativities
of the youth

since our leaders finds it hard to 
say the truth to the youth everywhere
nowadays

since the lies of our trusted 
governments in Africa are obvious

since the youth are not 
included in their political budget or 
good agenda in truth and 
honesty

since nowadays adults 
are no longer like 
adults any more then

all that will be left is provocation
and when the youth are provoked

they will speak in different tones
a tone of revolution 
in this time is the time 
when the youth speaks in tongues
