Building Tomorrow

Brothers,
We have shortage of rain.
This has already affected the growth of our tuber crops.
But we can still avert the impending famine.
Brothers, come let us plant guine corn and millet.

Where thn are the silos?
For the produce can only
Sustain us for a year.
Brothers, can't we reason beyond the immediate?
Now let us plant trees: oranges and mangoes
For these can benefit us a decade.

What about beyond decade?
A lifetime?

Then we should begin to plant people . . .
mature people
train people.
