IT TAKES A VILLAGE

it's not one person's duty
it takes a whole village 
to straighten the mind of a child
illuminating his path to morals

it takes a whole community 
to inculcate ethics and ethos
preparing the child's mind for the future 
waking up his subconscious

it takes a clan
to shaping the thoughts of their infants
aligning his ideology
setting his feet aright 

it takes a family 
to nurture their babe with love 
shower him/her with solid affections 
in other not to go astray 

it takes a peer
to grow up together singing folklores
knowing tales of their great ancestors 
trying to emulate their resonance 

it takes a child 
to assimilate his/her culture 
having a deep knowledge of his culture and beauty 
fully prepared to colour the world
