My Cry For Help !!!

The voice you hear is one of pain, why is everywhere silent? 

All I ever wanted to grow and also be a productive member of the society, I see the doctors, engineers and all other professionals.

They say the only way to be useful and be heard is to go to school; my parents struggle to accomplish all these for me because it’s the only guaranteed way out of suffering.

So I heard, but why is it that even after school, so many of these uncles and aunties I see do not have jobs and seem worse off than the artisans.

It’s not your place to say what is working and what is not, your place is to get the best out of education and also be part of the elite in the society.

I’m convinced; I see a lot of people share this belief so I must make the best of myself and make my parents proud.

I’m here now wondering what went wrong? The armed men seem to be against education, are they not also part of the society?

Did they loose opportunities or never had them at all, why are we being held?

What is going to happen to the exams we were to write?

In the midst of all these , I wonder why me?  

            

What could I do? 

Should I have refused to come with them, though they looked genuine?

Will I ever get out of here?

Will I see my family again?

Will my friends and I ever play the way we used to?

Can i get back my innocence?

Can I change back the hands of time?

The adults say education is the best legacy, but why am I still being held against my will?

Why is everything dark all of a sudden?

Why am I not being rescued?
