Poem
YOU CAN GIVE YOUR BEST Today’s stench in today’s society Today’s filth in today’s leaders Today’s corruption in today’s nation Are the ill-results of yesterday’s ill-attention Fathers, Mothers, Guardians and Teachers Invest in today’s kids your fishes From the seas of wisdom and knowledge For they will soon be your treasure In that great and glorious future Instruct them to fear God Teach them to detest drugs Encourage them with your love And preach to them moral excellence the more For a child who is well brought up Will make a nation well built up Young treasures of the glorious future Do not treasure any negative pressure Resist, refuse and reject all attempts Less you fashion a mere nation for your generation Be a well of truth Build a world of honesty Show the fruit of piety It’s a mark of integrity Be a man of accountability And a woman of transparency Let your records score your ability And let the books show that you are good For when there’s fire on the mountain They become your extinguishers like the fountain Let justice reign Let fairplay rain For equality/equity Is a laudable quality In any qualitative society Embrace the rule of law For it is made for all Don’t release a Barabbas and imprison a Jesus Because to be above the law Is to be above the lord Do the right thing at the right time Avoid short cuts that cuts short Make your hay while the sun shines Make your stitch in time And save nine Tread the extra mile And paint others with a smile Attend to what others ignore By doing the work like they’ve never done it before Don’t join in shedding blood Just to get to Aso Rock Play according to the rules And be ready to accept gallantly Victory or defeat Exchange hands of fellowship with non-victors of today For most winners of today were losers just yesterday Don’t be seen behind the scene And don’t hide Because your country is your bride Drive her pride Sell her wares And be spent for her defence. By not sitting on the fence, You can give your best Omebe Rita
