Word For Today: Development
WORD FOR TODAY: DEVELOPMENT
Ignorance and complacency must never remain Africa’s IMPEDIMENT
The world has moved up a notch; massive growth with DEVELOPMENT
While the Western nations covet innovations, we want EMPOWERMENT
While transparency reigns yonder; Africa is battling EMBEZZLEMENT
We still deceive ourselves that in strength; we remain the EMBODIMENT
My fear is that other nations will advance and make us an EXPERIMENT
