2023

Just as old skin peels for new
Let many blessings replace the few
Let every tear cancel a fear
May more joy scatter many a plotless ploy
May high honours destroy every damning dishonour
As cherished cheers uproot all living leers

II
May the force of hardwork destroy all foundations of procrastination
Every heartbreak turn loam to grow success
Every tongue learn to taste things that will help their bodies
Let self care triumph problems gargantuan

III
May clamoured things which sink our nation be devalued
May Corrupt officials be constantly caught
May slumbering security be whipped to post
Let every mind know death rears humans as fowls
Leaving generations to follow
And so greed only feeds the rotting body
But destroys properties meant for the futures of our wards
May the transients tell tales of love for peace
As our hearts rule selfish thoughts
…parading the busy streets of our minds
May we flourish in order to eliminate jealousies
…goading hate and crowning horrors in our generation
