Young men across the country,
Are gradually sliding into endangerment,
Commonplace to see criminals in uniform,
Misuse the apparatuses of State;

Against these young fellas,
Already frustrated by a system,
Currently designed to cut them down in their prime,
With no questions asked.
Nigeria's young men are highly at risk of not celebrating their 25th or 30th birthday if they become successful or appear to be successful by the age of 20.

Many undocumented and documented killings of young men by trigger happy police men.

But who will save our young men?
