Hi guys, today I will be sharing a poem i actually put in for a contest, but later did some minor editing and moulding on it. This poem centralises on how adults especially in the African setting or West Africa (Nigeria) where i'm from, normally discards the thoughts and opinions of the greenhorns (the little ones) and how sometimes they exclude them from important decisions making, and this is affecting the country, in that we now have leaders that have no or little proactiveness, leaders that can't proffer solutions to the prevailing problems in the country, leaders that monkeys and snakes could outsmart and steal millions of money under their watch, and these one can say stems from the fact that knowledge of how the ancient rulers ruled were not imparted into the young leaders of tommorrow and this is as a fact is sinister to national development.
I hope you Enjoy it

But the thoughts that run through my little mind are of the galaxies away,
Though, feeble i maybe,
it is not a criterion for judging what i will be,
Just as little as the larks soaring the depths of the skies in the dark,
Inexperienced, you may call me,
but i still have the time to make things right by me,
As stupid as i may seem,
don't ever disregard my worries and my sighs,
Because i am the light of your future to come,
Make it right with the eggs,
and you will see the chickens fly like an eagle,
Make it right with the cubs,
you will see you are grooming the kings of the jungle,
Make it right with this little star,
and he shall show you the way of the constellation afar.
Though, callow i am,
you will be surprised what the indulgence of my little wits will bring,
I am your little soldier,
mould me into the warrior i may become,
Still I am your rusty sword,
make my handling as fine as that of excalibur.
