The Future We Desire

IHEME OGECHI LINDA
Benin City, Nigeria

Arise oh co-youths

Listen to the call by nature,

To build the future

With our talents, learning and character.

Gone are the days of empty words,

All hands on deck,

Today must see our effort

Tomorrow will be proud of us!

Rough is the road to success,

Challenged, we refuse to quit!

We cannot rest

Until our good is better and then best.

Willing though the mind

Yet the body is weak,

When failure lingers on

Strive, our will is ours

Dwindling is our economy

Justice, nowhere to be found

Except we act,

Better tomorrow comes no more…

Your tool is your talent, use it!

For your weakness, strengthen it

World changing is a huge task,

FOR A START, CHANGE YOURSELF!
