Shattered Dreams (A Poem)

Shattered Dreams (A Poem) Our children are the leaders of tomorrow so the song says, But tomorrow looks bleak and our future without hope seems truncated. Now our unfriendly tears seem neglected Without recourse on how we should be educated. The girl child is molested constantly And the boy child roams the streets helplessly. When shall all this nonsense stop? When shall we enjoy the dividends long promised? When shall we enjoy development? '...help our youths [including the children] the truth to know...'reads our anthem, But the sacrificial lamb is now our children. What an anathema? Schools are being built for who? Let the girl child be educated. Great nations develop their youth base. They don't exploit them. Fathers protect their children They don't leave them vulnerable. Our dear SENATORS not SIN-ATORS, Give the children a chance; give them pencils and pen, Give them books; give them a life of their own. Remember, this child can be yours like any other. For a country that despise children, She will live her life with a harvest of Shattered Dreams. Enwemuche Maxwell O. (c)29-07-2013 maxxzymusdapoet@gmail.com @maxxzydapoet 23598DE2

A Right To Ask ~~~~~~~~~ In vain the promises fly like kites So high that they sparkle like the stars in Heaven. Your welfare is my concern they'll even trumpet, But where are the promises that once spoke so loud? With mouth so loud, they speak like demi gods Putting the people at the receiving end. At the high castle they crucify their pillar of support Oh ye building! You cannot stand without a pillar to support. Where is our strength? Where is our right to ask? Now ℓ̊ know wisdom is not measured by a man's height, But by steadily trying to know and ask. Thirsty for knowledge is not a wish, But a personal approach to life and issues. Our eyes in governance must look out for us That our days may not be like that of a horse... Opia-Enwemuche Maxwell O. (C)23-06-2013 @maxzydapoet 23598DE2

YOU’VE FILLED MY HEART (A Poem)

YOU’VE FILLED MY HEART There’s a hole inside my heart, Longing for someone to fill. You suddenly came close to my heart Now I know what I really feel. The love in my heart speaks volume Knitted to a wonderful heart in you. Like the water pot at Canaan I feel the volume, Every fabric of my soul is twisted within you. When I sing, your essence fills the air When I pray, you’re everywhere In my mind, I see you running in circle Of course, your love is such a strong Oracle . You’ve filled my heart. The vacuum to oblivion in my heart. I love you always and forever We’ll live together in love forever. Written by Enwemuche Maxwell on 23-01-2012 for Amarachi Stella Maxwell-Enwemuche
