PERCEPTION

By Amarachi Chima

We live in a time
Where beauty is judged by complexion 
And intelligence by English language
where independence is good but as a lady not so good

We live in a time where deaths are more celebrated than life
where short cuts are encouraged
And decorated thieves celebrated
Oh we live in a time where love has no meaning, so deceit becomes ok

How then do you teach my generation and those below
That honesty is the best policy when looters walk free
When these leaders we look up to drag their names through mud
Or is leadership no longer by example?
Is a good name no longer better than gold?

We no longer want to be leaders of tomorrow
Please make us leaders of today
We no longer want to watch your corrupt ways
Please teach us right

Feed us with substance that will last.
