LAUTECH: Our Secondary School Mates Are Happy- Wahab Roqeeb

A poem composed by a frustrated LAUTECH student who has spent more than a year in same level as a result of industrial strike. 

This, he tagged as “LAUTECH SHALL RISE” is aimed to pacify his colleagues especially those who have lost hope in education or suicidal tendency wells up in them.   

_The road may be blurred now_

_The cloud may be dark now_

_The shining star may stop falling_

But LAUTECH shall rise 

_In every situation we found ourselves_

_Whether spiritually or naturally_

_Whether we are blocked to move on_

_Or being deprived of our right_

_we shall rise one day_

_Our academic activities is muddy now_

_Our career is rough now_

_Our dreams are messy now_

_Our future is turgid now_

LAUTECH shall rise

_Our colleagues are celebrating_

_Our partners are joyous_

_Our secondary school mates are happy_

_Why we are still stagnant in the same level_

LAUTECH shall rise

_Our parents are waiting patiently for our graduation_

_They are thirsty of our success_

_They are anticipating to reap the fruit of their labour_

LAUTECH shall rise

_Time keep running_

_The days keep fading_

_The months keep rising_

_The years keep soaring_

_While our career still remain the same_

LAUTECH shall rise

_The visitors show no passion_

_Since their nippers are not affected_

_They wore the garment of no concern_

_While the future of over 30,000 students is at stake_

LAUTECH shall rise

_The riches keep fluting with their wealth_

_The kings keep quite while there citizens has been deprived of their right_

_While the hapless student’s future is doom_

LAUTECH shall rise

_At the end of the tunnel_

_Our hope would become happiness_

_Our dreams shall come to reality_

_We shall rejoice_
