Unemployment

Nigeria, the African CREST
Designed by Our Fathers, of a great CONCEPT
Right from the ONSET
Our Youth, vibrant and brilliant HEADS
But what is it worth? if They are JOBLESS

For Our Leaders are WOLVES
Our conscience is SOLD
For greed and GOLD
Hmm...  How far will this GO

As the Youth are EAGER
The Leaders, even more EAGER
Eager for POWER
But power is ARTIFICIAL
For it cannot quench Their HUNGER

At the receiving end
Are the innocent and less PRIVILEGED
Accompanied by artificial DEATHS
Insecurities, poverties and ILLNESS
Oh! What a MESS

You the Youth
You may be JOBLESS
But You are definitely not WORTHLESS
Hence settle not for LESS
In Your endeavor, be patient, be sincere, be the best
For this menace, soon be laid to REST
