ABIYE'S POETRY-LAZY YOUTH

HOW LAZY !!!
He runs like an athlete to sell “pure water’ how lazy!
The ABOKI that cleans nails and shine shoes, how lazy!
She stood all day to usher on that painful shoes, how lazy!
That male makeup artist, how lazy!

We gave up sleep for our books yet how lazy!
My ABA brothers with their inventing and renovating ideas how lazy!
Oh that girl that stands for hours to make hair how lazy!
We became an entrepreneur how lazy!
She turned tires into furniture how lazy!
Oh that graphics designer how lazy!
She cooks for a living how lazy!

They call us illiterate but they can’t read
They call us lazy but they are jeopardizing the future
They call us lazy but they are looting away the future
They call us lazy but are liars
They call us lazy but they are the real ROBBERS WITH ARMS
They call us lazy and they METAPHORICALLY became ANIMALS

Where is the thunder CHRISTOPHER OKIGBO talked about?
Hoping for the day I can say HURRAH FOR THUNDER
