If one pulls A sheep astray The flock is sure To move that way. To fish in a troubled water De-constructing history Thwart we could The old social fabric of unity And create we shall A generation Suffering a crisis of identity! *“Ask me not why They are better than My  peers and I Also sensitize me not to deny, What I see with my naked eye! In attire,grooving,life style , Cosmetic application and civilization They galvanize youth's attention!”* Come up with a generation We shall That does not bat an eye Our dictates to buy, A generation that does barter An age-old culture With fads,for such a venture Proves  to it an adventure. To achieve what we terribly sought If we use somebody of note Fame that has got Say an artist or a poet The mob will not Fight-shy to drink a lot From our poison *** Without a grain of salt “God doesn't exist " Could be top on the list! Alas, we could say  “Worship us!" *"Forget the Key And Lock theory! Why should you worry?"* Or social and religious  norms We could rock With *“A lock could lock a lock even in a wedlock!”*

A Herd Mentality
If one pulls A sheep astray The flock is sure To move that way. To fish in a troubled water De-constructing history Thwart we could The old social fabric of unity And create we shall A generation Suffering a crisis of identity! *“Ask me not why They are better than My  peers and I Also sensitize me not to deny, What I see with my naked eye!

For an Ethiopian poet who recently debased his soul for monetary rewards.
