Hunger

Am I difficult to find?
Did it take a while for me to be noticed?
How did you feel when you saw me?
Am I on the right platform?

Character 1.
I am Tope from greenwood town
I socialize and club around every town
I spend like I own my firm
I am no graduate but I date uncle Sam
And we rock and roll with no marriage plans
I am 27years and don't know who I am


Character 2.
I am Kunle from Iyanapaja
I studied medicine in the university close to Apapa
I teach tutorials to stop allowee from my papa
I am presently working at the General Hospital
And the monotony of the job frustrate my only power
Will I die like this with an employed identity?


Character 3.
My name is Godchild from Enugu
I pray like wildfire and destroy every egungun ( masquerade)
I fast like hurricane and join every prayer group
My religion is my lifestyle to affect my goonz
I am no graduate and can't speak English goodly
I'm becoming ostracized lately
What is wrong about this identity?


Character 4.
I am Mrs Collins from Alphabet area
I am married to the man of my dreams in my area
We have four kids without sisera
And I will retire soon to become an house woman
No recorded feats has really been achieved in my life span
Take care of kids, husband and carry files in the firm
What has become of me, where did I lost my identity?


Character 5.
I am Japaa the producer
I sing rap and I am a popper
Money brought me into this order
Cause poverty has chop me like pauper
I got no talent for this
So I fake the voice with machine
I am getting vexed out
Cause my time of impact is running out
And I never blow since four yesrs ago
Which place would I possibly shine out of passion?


What you love doing against what you want as money generator can change your identity and make you useless or useful to humanity.

Don't bow to parental pressure
Bow to passion pursuit.

When you succeed
Your parents will repent

If you do the wrong trade
You die in employment slave trade.

Start Now

But the question is

What are you passionate about?

Money is definitely not the answer.
