Juveniles...
*
This religious and political lens,
And tribalized social vices,
Won't allow us to see
*
Today, to tomorrow's view
We are a tool for wealth creation.
We are heaven on today's earth.
*
We are ample maize;
Soiled to see the future amazed.
We should not deteriorate;
*
Let us tell them they are inaccurate.
So bring together not segregate
See how they'll see us as pates.
*
We are tomorrow -- let's start with today
To be productive not to be restive.
We are tomorrow -- let's start with today
*
To be mindful not to be deceived
By their bucks and metals,
Though indigents covet insurgents.
*
Though indigents exploits our thumbs
Let's live not to die again,
Because we are lively.

Mother Maize --  Linda Storm & Pablo Perea
