BUILT TO LAST: MOYIN OKELEYE.

She's one of the young writer's I respect cos of her sense of reasoning. This is one good writeup from her.
I see little kids running around naked
Kids with happy imperfect mindsets
I see a mother and a baby meddling vigorously at her breast
I see injustice and corruption
Resurfacing when everyone thinks it's a faded glory
I see our materialistic world
I see how everyone is striving to be something they are not
I see young youths being trampled upon by so called predecessors
Carefully caressing myself in front of a dented mirror
I see dented images
Looks like horror
I see my dreams-shattered dreams
I see myself in non realistic realms
Walking alone in this hall of lies
All I feel are hands hoping to hold me
Maybe that's how it meant to be
I feel the world reeling me in
Pain and misery fall from the sky
I try to ignore them but they still get by
I hear aspiring little voices of hope
Surprisingly, I'm not bothered
Apparently, these things-all these things
The lies, injustice, corruption.
Were never built to last
We have a capable generation
We have recurrent heroes
Trying to put things right
But what about me?
I'm a little tiny flower
With just developing petals
A small tender belle
That has the loudest voice of justice
That cancels out whatever form of corruption
I'm not going to fade away
I'm gonna get accomplished
Why?. You ask me why?
I'll tell you why
I was built to last.

The Tree of Inspiration By Babatunde Paul

I was walking through a walkway in my school, the walkway, in the middle of a thick forest by the right and another by the leftsureng the only one on the walkway I looked around and all I could see was thick,big long and strong trees then I stopped and said in me, what a sense of unity they all stood upright like  trinity and I kept on wondering, no one waters them, no one feeds them with manure and the rest so that they can grow,they experience heavy rainfall and very hot sunshine and yet they stand like they're gonna make it to the end, they survive any kind of weather and still stand strong and upright together, I hardly see a space in between the trees,they were so full of themselves like tomorrow is sure,they all were deeply rooted in their source because they knew they had no choice .one was bent and about falling but yet another was  beside it ready to help. Then I stood again and looked @ myself and thought of my friends, checked out other and the whole human race, we have

This is another Great writer, she's cool and simple. Don’t Quit In light of everything that is happening We mustn’t quit For the situations in Baltimore and Ferguson We mustn’t quit For Michael Brown and Yvette Smith We mustn’t quit We must beat the stereotype We must continue to be positive influences We must continue to work hard in our fields We must not fight back with violence Peace ends old barriers and builds new structures Let us all stand up as Africans Let us not quit By: Fisayo Latilo
