People from different societies <br />And states come to sweep <br />Using different types of <br />Brooms <br />Yet competing for the <br />Same sweeping <br />Grounds. <br /> <br />For one to survive must <br />Hold firmly <br />As the beginning is rough <br />But the climax is <br />Smooth. <br /> <br />The decision therefore is <br />Yours <br />Either to stand the pressure <br />And hold firmly on it <br />Or not. <br /> <br />Such that at the end <br />Of the day <br />You are served like any <br />From the nobility <br />Prince or Clergy. <br /> <br />So then hold firmly <br />On your broom <br />For we are all sweepers <br />In our various capacities <br />Of life. <br /> <br />And must sweep steadily <br />Hard if we are to get <br />Something to eat. <br /> <br />Do not be like those <br />Cowards <br />Who give up <br />Hence going back to <br />Their ancestral land <br />Empty handed. <br /> <br />With nothing to show <br />For the time and years <br />They have stayed in the <br />City center. <br /> <br />Otherwise work tirelessly <br />Hard to always keep among <br />Your fellow sweepers <br />and in the end <br /> <br />By holding firmly on your <br />Broom <br />Your sweeping habits <br />Will improve and your <br />Fruits will be proportionate <br />To your efforts you put in. <br /> <br />As those who fold their hands <br />And keep them crossed to <br />One another with <br />Their broom between <br />Them are in most cases <br />Caught up with time. <br /> <br />For time waits for no man <br />And so goes the saying <br />A day gone is a day lost and <br />That used sparingly <br />Is saved. <br /> <br />i therefore leave you <br />With the greatest say <br />As you decide either <br />To keep your broom or <br />Choose to steadily stand <br />With it. <br /> <br />By continuously sweeping <br />Not forgetting to put <br />God first in all you endeavors <br />Success and victory awaits <br />On the likes of your kind <br />For he God never fails <br />His people.<br /><br />Buyi Newton Philip<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-broom-and-the-sweepers/
