Corruption has not only retarded the economic growth of our nation, it has stolen the dreams of our youths. It has killed the future of the disadvantaged. An orphan cries for help by stopping corruption. This is his cry.
THE ORPHAN’S SUPPLICATION
By Vincent Owino
Here at the lee
I shout out my plea
Listen if you please
And beware I’m not at ease
For I see no future
Though failure isn’t my nature.
I joined not the school of my choice
Because I had no voice.
For a sponsorship I did apply,
But because I went dry,
Fellows with no lost
parent
Won and away I was sent.
Though my test I have passed,
My future is dimmer than the past.
Where is the opportunity?
To fully repudiate poverty
So I can empower the elites.
My tears have dried up
My voice has given up
But I don’t believe in failure
Neither do I in seizure
I’ll do whatever it may take
I’ll speak for humanity’s sake.
Now to our tall fellows;
Don’t lead us to the gallows
Make our nation a better one,
Let us win just as you won
Please stop CORRUPTION!
For this, is my supplication.
