THE MODERN GENERATION

THE MODERN GENERATION

A Poem by Walani Ndhlovu

The modern generation

Is coming all the way

To colonize the old one to get it’s accommodation

It’s encouraging many people

To welcome it’s arrival

But once it’s welcomed

There is no survival

 

It’s taking away many people especially teenagers

With very simple measures

It’s attracting the south pole and the north pole

By giving them someone to go for

And that’s why people are dying in fours;

A girl, a boy, and a pair of two models

The models of the two

The models who showed the two what to do in their clue

At different times they were born

But at the same time they are gone

 

Take a look at the boys of today on the way

They pull the short down as if the shorts overweigh

They wear huge hats which are so wide

And  turn them around to balance the head on the other side

Isn’t it too heavy to crash the brain

Isn’t it too heavy to use up the digested grain

 

Ah! Your parent s must have been tired of feeding you advise

They must have been tired of being kind and nice

They are just waiting for the time when the white clouds will become grey

And rain will fell from their eyes on this day

They will just worry and burry you in a day

And forget about you because you made them loose their hope

They are tired of having commas

This time they have a full stop
