THE FALL OF MY ELITES.
As a child,
I have always wanted a better education,
The type with proven ability to that of my western counterparts,
Bringing out the best in me,
And developing it without error.
Advancing in life,
Guess what I found,
Barriers! Yes, barriers,
But this time, stronger than what cause my elites to fall,
I now realise what led to their fall.
I asked myself:"Why?
Does it mean they did not see it coming,
Why should they allow it to happen,"
The answer I got was this,
"Yes, they saw it coming.
But rather they chose compromise,
Sentiment, nepotism and self gratification,"
Then I asked:
"Shall I fall?"
After all that was the exact place.
A voice answered,
An unfamiliar one of course,
"Fall! Fall!! Fall!!!"
That's exactly where they fell.
Suddenly there was a gravity,
I started staggering,
Almost to the ground,
I struggled to find fame.
There comes a little strength,
Whispered;"No! No!! No!!!
That my elites fell fifty nine years ago,
Doesn't mean I too will fall,
That am still on the ground,
Doesn't mean that I will not rise again".
A pull of irresistance,
Like hereditary force,
Held me to strangle,
"That's what killed the father,"
They said:
Yes, they knew it,
Because, they taught it at school,
That what killed the father,
Must as well kill the child.
I answered;'No',
Because I am unique,
My optimistic rules,
I look beyond.
Seeing those things that were,
As they were not,
I stand boldly,
A hero and a conqueror.
