Sow Your Seeds Today

Ebenezer Ayidana 1995 (Kumasi)

A farmer with no seeds
To the ground
Hoped for great harvest
But none to be found
He cursed the earth
For this wrong thing done
He whined and growled
For food he had none

The morrow’s harvest
Is a child of the now
Sow your seeds today
By the sweat of your brow
For tomorrow births
The works of thy diligent hand
Sow your seeds today
And reap the fruits of the land.
