PLANNING IS THE ESSENCE OF DEVELOPMENT

HE WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE FOR A TRIP
HE SPENT HIS WAY BILL BEFORE DEPARTURE
HE HAD LITTLE IN STOCK WHEN HE LEFT
WHEN THE GOING GOT HARSH AND TOUGH
HE TURNED TO HIS FRIENDS FOR A HELP
THEY GAVE SOME.
BUT HE ASKED FOR SOME MORE.
THEY REFUSED.

FROM THE SHALLOW PLATE OF HUNGER
HE ATE WITH THE SPOON OF POVERTY
MALNUTRITION IS HIS TOOTH-PICK
HE BLAMED OTHER PEOPLE WITH HIM
BUT HE FORGOT TO BLAME HIMSELF
HE IS THE FOOL OF THIS CENTURY

HE IS A TYPICAL AFRICAN LEADER
HE ALWAYS COMES UP WITH REQUESTS
IF HELPED. HE WILL ASK MORE
HE DOES NOT PLAN BEFORE SPENDING
HE IS ALWAYS IN A PROBLEM
HIS NATION IS IN SHAMBLES
