Education

ELIKPLIM DOE KWASHIE ZEVOR 1994 (Accra)

Free verse
                   Education

Education,education,education
It is good to be educated as a girl child
In this world of competition and competence
Many young girls and women are breaking the glass ceiling
To  get to the top of any field of human endeavour.
Daddy, mummy and lovely parents,
Invest in our education for we are the future of this nation
And we shall leave a legacy for the generations unborn to see
Devsy is expanding our knowledge beyond the sea
All we the little ones need are pencils, books and a little care
We are more than the  diamond,the  gold and the  pearls
Kept in  your jewelry boxes
When we are educated
We shall become doctors,engineers, astronauts and teachers
By MR :ELIKPLIM DOE KWASHIE ZEVOR

About this poem

Encouraging young girls to aspire to attain the highest level of education for themselves. And parents to support such dreams not to invest their wealth buying needles items for themselves.
