SOCIAL CRITIQUE: "SHADOWS OF NEGLECT" BY MIC WARRIOR

Do you know the most corrupt ministry in the Gambia,is the ministry of Agriculture.

Deforestation  and Nepotism they embrace instead of transparency and accountability.

We live  in horrendous environments wind be dangerous bodies.

Wore silk in clothing,luxury in car and Manson in house when there are thousands in rural areas facing challenges to feed their family members.

Hundreds of people graduated from the Gambia college U.T.G etc. Yet they can't be employed.

We have enough water in the grounds we have vast lands.

Yet the agric students struggles in exposure like  a cinematic dillema,no jobs no "ligeh".

This will only happen when incompetent leaders are in power nothing seems to be working for us.

 yet the idiotic soul chants the youths are happy when does  every youth's are apprehended for standing against what i called the cancerous leadership.

How long shall we continue to cry till our eyes swells, for how long shall we be forgotten till our existence becomes a shadow,  for how long will it take our leaders to combat our nightmares, nightmares we face,  if not a rent increasement is a price hike, if not a weak system is a bad leadership, the  vulnerable, and the forgotten.

We are not coward we will write and recite till we get things right.

As a pan Africanist advocator our duties is to care for justice instead of injustice 

The Sprite of pan Africanism we embrace they can muzzled us we are legal and we're lawful.
