BARREN CAPITAL

POEM BY: Alick Mushekwa *BARREN CAPITAL* Barren capital; the money which can never grow Is as bad as a poison killing slow, Having resources which can't give poverty a deadly blow, Is as good as having nothing to sow. You reap what you sow A bird at hand is more than two in the bush Thinking without giving birth to your ideas Is the same as burying yourself in fear Having resources is not a sign of fertility Having money is not a sign of prosperity Running up and and down is not a sign of productivity Eating too much does not invite obesity Dreaming all day is not an omen of success in reality The impact of having an accidental leadership is measured in its fatality But the future of a country is predicated in its vision feasibility The lame is not lame unless with a disability Having resources that does not produce is same as having a "barren capital" Human capital is fundamental It deals with the capabilities in the mental faculties Failure to use your brain results into grave casualties It requires no patience to heal a patient of a mental illness Because too much patience killed a patient. The disability of a mind to give birth to an idea Makes man and his coming posterity to wallow in deep fear Motivational speeches are useless to a deaf ear And ridiculous to human carcass, as they can't hear Having people without a vision in power is not having leadership in place It is as same as having animals occupying the leadership space Laziness is a serious threat to business Money without value is useless in the world of economics Medicine which can't cure a patient is useless in a world hit by a pandemic Let me tell you, I mean you; Working smart is a sign of a perfect start, Having hope accompanied by productive actions Gives the world the best results it has ever expected Being hit by a terrible situation in times like these sounds unprecedented Real leaders are ever willing to sacrifice the little they have They are adamant to overcome challenges, however tough Responding to a mosquito bit is a sign of being rough However, a leader who understands is better than a reader who fail to interpret, A mind full of ideas it can't remember is as the same as being a puppet; Barren capital; the money which can never grow Is as bad as a poison killing slow, Having resources which can't give poverty a deadly blow, Is as good as having nothing to sow.
