Little children, if you are not
learned
You will be missing a great deal of
African history
The exploitation of our lands and the
discovery of slavery
Not kings and queens, but prisoners
they made our ancestors to be
The Europeans stole our linage and
almost robbed us naked
Great men like Mandela, Martin Luther
king
Fought off inequality against the
black race until total liberation
As young as you are, the future is
brighter when you have education
Little girls, like Dora Akuyili and
Oprah Winfield
A great woman, you will come to be
acknowledged
Boys, instead of becoming a murderer,
rapist or terrorist
End up in prison for been a menace to
the society
You can become a doctor, lawyer, a
policeman or geologist
Protecting the human race and the
world to exist
Providing to your family, building a
happy home
Discouraging the war, are actions
that brings hope
Learning means to stay in class, read
all the books you can find
In no time will you have a positive
future in your hand
The greatest gift given to man after
the creation of the world
Is the power of self will, no one can
limit the state of your mind
Always obey your parents, do what
they tell you is good
The older you are the more valuable should
be your state of mind
You can teach other young ones too as
you learn and grow
I do not want you to become old and
cannot read and write like some do
