           oh my dear African parents

you are indeed a precious jewel

with every day life fill so hectic

hustling to be provisious

thy skin a representative of thy identity

A survival among survivors

oh my dear African parents

yes I am a teen

said to be flimsy

lacking solidity and significance

tender and sentimental, with rivers of emotions floating within

not strong enough to defeat immorality

yet forget not thy morals inbuilt in me

oh dear African parents

when will thy trust thy teen

why all the hullabaloo

with the most archaic believe

yes

I am a teen irresponsible at times

As stubborn and obstreperous like a goat

but just like a pufferfish exhibiting boisterous and caring nature

but with thy moral bestowed I will over come.
