Where Is The Promise Poem by Kingsley Egbukole

Where Is The Promise

Rating: 5.0


Where is the promise?
Of education for the educated
Yesterday I eagerly looked towards it
Here today barrenness greets me

Why have the old cargos refused the scene leave
Holding tenaciously to the reign of power
And with power the reign of wealth

What is the worth of the learning then?
When the unlearned control your say
But I take solace in my pen.

" Unlearned control your say " A touching presentation , well said. Reflection of bitter reality that you revealed through Your creation. Indeed, intense and powerful ink.
