Some leaders complain of youth violence in the streets of their cities but the real culprit is the government which failed to reduce the increasing unemployment rate of their countries. Youth if not properly cared for will adapt anti-social behaiours, may fall prey to international terrorists as they take any offer out of despair.
When there is civil disobedience
When crime rate is escalating
When you are the head of a state
When youth swim in a sea of violence
What would you do to curb the mess?
Would you pack prisons to their fill
When you give no job to the youth?
When you can not absorb their energy
When their talent is being wasted
When their steam has no proper outlet
When their emotions rebound on themselves
When a wave of crime sweeps the nation
Don't you have to step in Mr. President?
And please Mr. President
Don't blame the youth for their actions
Instead bring your minsters to court
Arrest the Government!
Dear Abji-Noor
This is so clearly and obviously true.
Why isn't anything done?
Why aren't the youth being educated and guided into jobs.
Do we not care enough? Indifferent? Care less of the future?
They are the future and we're their seed.
The Governments are economy driven ... one day there may not be willing or able workers. Or a worthy world to live in. We, not being worthy of, It!
Thanks for another penetratingly needed write.
Love, Suzie
New Poetry by Abdi-Noor Haji Mohamed (Eagle Of Hope)
These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
