Fatimah Jimoh Poem
Oh Teachers!
The burning candles,
The moulders of young minds.
The pathfinder to the searching sheep.
Teachers are like burning candles,
breezing in all day out.
Designing the world future.
Walking through the wind,
the nestling of the leaves.
They are the idols of the earth.
The upheaving shadows,
and dark appearance.
Searching for the nooks and crannies,
increasing my knowledge,
after pain is sweet gain.
Having a bright path,
because of my burning candle.

Fatimah Jimoh Poem
Knowledge is a treasure,
that accompanies its owner.
It is a power that commands respect.
It lives beyond it's possessor,
it's instrument is mightier than sword,
Raising human dignity among peers,
difficult to accumulate,
but easy to impart.
Not physical,
shown orally and in actions.
Knowledge is a golden medal,
once won, no one sees it.
It is proven through worth.
Known through actions,
no one dares disobey and still has it.
Indeed,
Knowledge is a treasure.

Fatimah Jimoh Poem
Jealousy!
The path to every evil,
destruction, insecurity.
A powerful feeling,
common among youth.
Leading to rivalry and enmity.
Causing spies at work.
Deafening sound of actions.
Leading to broken home,
and shattered hearts.
Jealousy!
proves it gravity with depression.
Suppresses boldness and confidence.
An enemy to progression.
Making one suffer a great loss.

Education!
Not a name of any degree
Not a certificate.
It can not be shown as proof.
Education!
The name of our attitude.
The name of our actions and language
with others in real life.
My worth,
Keep learning.
Life never stops teaching.
No matter how it sounds,
how you feel,
get up,
dress up,
show up,
And never give up.

Fatimah Jimoh Poem
Money!
Dumbfounded means
Perceiving riches.
After your accumulation,
shatter the hope of satisfaction.
I become hungry and thirsty.
Resulting in stealing and fraud.
I become stingy and active.
Believing in the hope you give,
leaving my back,
when the tide turns.
I see you,
as a fair weather friend.
You never support fully.
Money,the destruction you have caused.
