YOUR DRUM (Poem)

(Waste no time gossiping it doesn’t pay!)
Many people are always poking their noses in other people’s affairs for nothing.

Play your own drum,
No one else,
Can play it for you,
It’s your drum,
And your chose it your self.
No one else should,
Only you,
Know the tunes,
Let people
Enjoy the tunes
By playing it yourself
Have the hands for it
Take courage
Play your own drum

Wake early in the morning
Prepare yourself
In morning sun
Put your drum
Have the stick ready
For the best tunes.
Play your own drum
No one else
Can play it for you
It’s your own drum
Prepare it yourself
For you alone
Know the tune of the drum

Don’t be worried
How well others play
You also
Can play better
Often we are so busy
Listening, watching
Others play their drums
That we don’t
Play our own
Practice always
Make perfect
Have the hand for it
Play your own drum

Be proud
Of your own drum
People are eager
To listen to the tune
The tune of your precious
Drum of yours
No specific qualification
Needed to play well
But will and seriousness
Play it well and loud
For it’s yours
Play your own drum
No one else
Can play it for you.

Shall the driver
Drive the tailors sewing machine?
Shall the farmer
Harvest with the surgeon’s scalpel?
Shall the fisherman
Paddle with the soldier’s gun?
Shall the nurse
Inject with teachers chalk?
Shall the chef
Bake the mason’s dough?
Then play on other’s drum
But your own!

Play your own drum
Play it well and loud
Have a grip of it and
Use your talent
Enjoy your own tune and do not be surprised
Then, before the sum is done
Every one will recognize
The sound of your drum
They will dance
To the tune of drum
And crown you!
