Unqualified Generation

This is the generation With no head or tail A generation With rotten eggs But who is to blame If not the before generation This is a generation Where parents separate Forgetting their own children Everyone goes his or her own way The father marries And the mother gets married They start a new life Forgetting their past A child is left To wander in the streets His or her sibling on his or her own back Torn are their clothes Yet if asked They will tell you I had a mother and father But I don't know where they are A generation where A child can raise his or her voice At his or her parents Just because A parent said he or she can't afford To buy them something A generation where A parent buys the child a camera Just for them to go Take nude photos and Post them on social media And we blame the social media Yet its helpful if used well A generation where nobody Looks into Their children's life Just because They think they are responsible Or they are too busy Even to think of them A generation where A brother Lies with the sister And in three days She is running to the toilet Just to vomit Due to the smell of fish Yet its her favourite food She is pregnant But who is there to enquire If the parents are busy This is still the generation A father takes advantage Of his own daughter And he can't feel The guilt The generation where Though a woman Has voice She still dwells in the past Believing in the african traditions That a woman has no voice A generation where A child knows much More than his or her own parents She becomes the teacher He becomes the teacher Not the student This is the generation This is my generation The generation I live in.
