Poem: Hashim Yussuf Amao

Misplaced Priority
In a country where they say "Education is the best legacy"
In a country where education comes with Odyssey
In a country where education is no more bouncy
In that country frivolities are now being celebrated
In that country education is now being dilapidated
In that country immoralities are now being appreciated.
After the random 16 years of studying
And many moments of bustling
Paying the irresistible fees
Even while financially one is not pleased
Going through the Odyssey in order to be learned
But so pathetic the efforts are now unmerited.
Despite the educational ordeal
And the unpleasing anneal
Achievement(s) from educational field,
Are now rarely commended and rewarded
Many promising talents have been wasted
Rather immoralities is what is being applauded.
While graduates are roaming about being jobless
In other to survive they've gone through hell
Yet, #25m is rewarded on frivolity
SUV motor and endorsement deals for those who had sex on live TV
Perhaps chicken change is for the best in university
Tell me isn't that a misplaced priority?
Is education still the best legacy?
Will the future of education still be juicy?
When will education be more celebrated
When will it be so appreciated?
I pray education stop losing its value
And thus be accorded its due.
