Lean And Learn O! Youth Poem by Dr Anthony Onoja

Lean and learn O! Youth
The agony of life is those that failed to learn
The time of illicit deceit we made with life
It was a cold and lonely nights of shame
If the wind ever come through this course
Tell him to remember how time and memories flies
Tell him we were not the only youths that failed to learn
The constellation we made in time but remains
The best left so that the better will remain
She is not perfect but withstood the test of time
Sing o! forest of our ancestral delight
Jungle not after the days gone-by in myth
Just as the sun of youth never set in the East
Just now we see love came and left as passenger
Like the aroma of sweet memories that scent at nightfall
Lean and learn how ages became tales of a man in love
Love became marble jewel that so much we adore
Laugh became the story of our youth who failed to learn
Ameju come now for your prince return with his bride
Okpoga we return your favor in the bide of creation
Okpokwu we present the token of our love in matrimony
Benue we hope we made you proud atlast
Nigeria we thank Heaven we came through you
Africa you mother us all and join our fate in love
Atlast we are proud to bring forth sons and daughters to the Earth
Though we came through time and left its stake
Thrice our foot prints will stand the sand of time.
