Poem

Poet: horatius chinedu okike

Title: illiteracy


Oh illiteracy what have you done
What have you done?
People are suffering
Oh what have you done?


Oh I see humans, they can’t
They can’t
They can’t live without you
Oh what have you done?


But I see you have done great things
Great things indeed
Great things ignored by humans
Oh literacy helper of our land


Oh when will the world come to see?
Oh when will the world embrace you?
Soonest I see, soonest
Let it come to thee.
