Climbing on a Stepless Ladder

Laziness is one of the main causes of poverty in many parts of the world.

In my house I raise some pets
I closely watch their behaviors
They teach me lessons as I feed them

Among them is a cat I call Sifsaf
The best thing it likes to eat is fish
But it hates water to touch its body
Can this cat make ends meet?

Some people have same habit with Sifsaf
The best thing they like is SUCCESS
The worst thing they hate is hard work
Can they make ends meet?

They avoid TIREDNESS to touch their muscles
They never put their minds in full gear
They want to reach at the top
with a ladder that has no steps

That is one reason we Africans are poor

Abdi-noor,

Not only Africans, but many different nations are facing poverty that is rising at alarming rates. Here, too, in the "richest" nation in the world, there are many who struggle...and many of them work. They are the working poor. I'm one of them, my twin is another, too many, too many, are...pay bills, that's it, no money for food. Can't pay, too bad, so sad, out on the streets you go....

I've been working since age 14. Don't have anything to show for it, but I don't mind...at least I have the strength and the will to work for what little I do have.

Powerful, thought-provoking, excellent write, with a much needed lesson.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. *continued prayers!!*

Abdi-Noor,

A little hard work goes a long way. Perhaps sifsaf, like most cats, has a water phobia. (lol) Like you say. " some want everything handed to them." Well done, my friend.

Your country may be poor Abdi Noor, but if there are more like you it can count itself rich. I hope they know what a treasure of wisdom they have in you! This poem is just one fine example! Thank you for sharing!God bless you, yours and your country! I love the name sifsaf;-)
