 </div><p></p>When we become old grannies and age disrupts our memories,<br>
Let us remember our napkins and where we began our stories.
<p>When we become youths and pushed by peers to make wrong choices,<br>
Let us remember our upbringings and flee away from the sweet oasis.</p>
<p>When we become husbands and ignorantly degrade our patrimony,<br>
Let us remember our fathers and how they held their matrimony.</p>
<p>When we become young wives and bogged to quit our marriages,<br>
Let us remember our mothers who mended all home leakages.</p>
<p>When we become leaders and pressured to make wrong decisions,<br>
Let us remember our teachers and what they would do in our positions.</p>
<p>When we become law enforcement workers and bribed to compromise,<br>
Let us remember our childhood toys that always got our backs.</p>
<p>When we become citizens and watch evil triumph over good deed,<br>
let us remember our cartoons and the lives our superheroes lived.</p>
<p>When we start remembering our childhood and it’s meekness of heart,<br>
Truly, the world will become a better place for not just us but our children.</p>
