NATIONAL YOUTH SERVICE CORPS (#POETRY)



#POETRY:

National Youth service Corps
The Most Successful national scheme
A scheme that spanned through twelve months
Whose Significance cannot be ignored.

Members of the scheme
Highly respected spirited individuals,
Go through the programe with diverse activities
A twenty one days of fun amidst challenges

Most prominent among its activities
Jogging, drilling, sporting and cooking
The orientation camp
A solid rendezvous for graduates in the country.

There comes the fun, “Otondo Corper”
The pain, “endurance trek”
Even the friendship, ‘give me your phone”
Three weeks of fun, pain and friendship drifted to an end.

Then comes the second phase,
Place of primary assignments,
Some people cry, still some rejoice
Definitely, such is life

But under the sun and in the rain
They had pledged their sincere loyalties
To the upliftment of their fatherland
The dream and hope of every Nigerians

 The end of it all, the climax
After all the built up crescendos
The passing out parade
The final activity in the scheme.

As corps members joyfully receives certificate,
What confront them is the future
Whether they’ll quickly make it or not
Nothwitstanding, the beginning of independence has begun.
