close ns for good

17 died in NS
The parents allowed them
Believing they would be taken care
They never knew the young teenagers would die

By law the young ones send
To the NS camp for 3 months
For national integration and discipline
Learning something bearing fruits in future?

Yet on record 17 died
The government refused to close it down
Giving palatable excuses
It is money for cronies
A whopping over $2 billion involved
This money can be used to help the poor

No the government leaders
The cronies ring the gravy train
The poor in the country
Begging alms the government doesn’t see
The little napoleons sit in the air-conditioned offices
Never walk the streets……….

The sadness of parents’ eyes
The tears flow today and years beyond
The memories of the lost ones
They can’t be cloned never will they sing their songs

It is time NS closed down
Too many deaths it makes parents scared
The lack of responsibilities and the poor services
The compassion amongst the leaders……………
The money saved can be used for other purposes
Scholarships and assisting the poor

But no it is for a few connected parties
Inheriting the wealth milking the country
It is time the parents demand NS closure
It brings sorrows when death stalks the camps
