Organize, Don’t Agonize (Poem)

Tunde Oseni, Author and motivational speaker

Organize, dont agonize

Long time complaint

Will not bring the train

If you want a change

Be the change yourself

Organize, don’t agonize

Many people are there

But only because they are aware

Think not it is by chance

That those on top reach the place

Organize, don’t agonize

Complaint does not withdraw money in banks

Only those who have money in accounts,

Smile to the banks

Organize, don’t agonize

Where you are now

Is not where you will be forever

Organize now

So that your morrow will be better

Organize, don’t agonize

Let us all be the best

Not just for the world applause

But that we may give the world a plus

Organize, time is going

Don’t agonize

Organize, don’t agonize

  1. Great poem. One way of saying, you have to sweat before you sweet, no gain before gain. Brother, you’re good.
    Do you have it in a book?
