Society stuffy and scaryA
Traditions are weepingB
Men have ceased to be menC
Women wooed and woundedD
-
In the Stone AgeE
Morality desired and treasuredF
Youths moulded in characterG
Parents pat their shouldersH
The future smiles at themI
-
But today society is saggingB
Money praised and worshippedJ
Parents scared of progeniesH
Souls sacrifice for shekelsH
-
Coin a living godK
Daughters wooed to conjugalL
miseryA
Her womb quid pro quo for moneyA
Mothers agonize for a grandchildM
Grey hairs mock themI
-
Ego oyibo smiles at youN
But it root is harmful and dreadfulL
Destinies sowed for thanksgivingB
Tails trade off for coinsH
-
Parents pervert or perishO
Greed will dig your gravesH
Red caps call for reformationP
Get back to the drawing boardQ
-
Then comes the New religionP
Where prosperity is blown like serineP
Truth twisted for cupidityA
Men are eaters of menP
Who will redeem usH
-
Armageddon is comingB
Eyes will weep bloodD
All shall perishO
But the souls must chronicle their deedsH

Jude Chukwuemeka Muoneke

Poet's note: This is a social poem. This poem is dedicated to all humanity especially Africa. It's explores the theme of moral and sociatal decadence. The society no longer treasure morality but focuses on money and materialism. The society don't really care how the youths make their money, thereby endangering the society in by and large. Most youths do a lot of wicked things to make money, and the society don't care about its source. But rather the worship money and trivialize our culture and normes.
