THE CENTURYA Poem by AkinloluLiving through the past century and comparing the differences between it and this one is breath taking at times. Yet life is always about changes.
How ironic
that fire will burn on ice in a melodramatic century full of fury where every little boy seeks for big guns In their quest for fun. Those kids aren't interested in toys anymore They're wearing dreadlocks, and designing their skin with tattoos and adding Gmails to their Yahoos. Morality is up in smoke. Gone...like the wind. U.N. legislation empowers the sales of coke and Microsoft has its own mint. Democracy is under reconstruction and all countries are now governed by big corporations.
