Youth would be an ideal stage if it came a little later in life.
This is just a thought as we’ve completely lost our ways.
We sit down watching television or worrying about fashion.
We have illusions about a future filled with vanity.
“Live life to the fullest” is the daily mantra.
As teenagers, we shouldn’t be dating but noone listens.
The world’s best teacher is experience but do we really need all those broken hearts ten years later?
The blessers breaking so many hearts as we watch.
One simply has to decide where their time goes.
As students, dating or “playing each other” is taking the trophy.
“Mjolo” — an unbreakable spell, is blinding the whole youth.
There is a perception that this world is kind and this has captured the youth’s innocent souls.
A grip so tight, hard to elude.
The future of this world is in the youth’s hands, hence its of paramount importance that they visit the world of reality often.
Rust may glitter but reality is bitter.
Build realistic foundations so as not to squander time on perpetual corrections.
To know the road ahead, ask the one coming back.
Self evaluation is helpful but for growth and change, evaluation from someone is essential.
Let’s listen to the elders’ advice.
