Suicide

By Odimegwu Oneumere

Has it become a bet?
Teens now take their lives?

One was
Because he failed JAMB.

Discourage suicide
In your neighborhood.

Teens don't
Know what they do.

Discourage teens
Taking their lives
In your neighborhood.

If quiet is kept on this
It drives home
As everyday occurrence.

Some will
Make mouth with it,
and take their lives.

Discourage this anomaly.

School cultism
Came this way
And has
Become a culture
Of a sort.
