The Youth Proverbs (Vol.9): "Get Off The Slippers From Your Foot, Don't Slip Like Them"

In slippers,

On slippery pathways,

So is every youth legs,

The way of youth slips.

Yet they run,

They slip and fall and roll,

Beautiful palace in the heart to reach,

What a slippery way to pass.

Waiting is a taboo,

Every one on a speed,

But, they fall one by one,

How on this pathway do one progress?

Eventhough a taboo,

Dearly youth wait,

Wait! Wait! Wait!

Don't slip like them.

In waiting is more speed than running,

Running gets no one nowhere,

Wait and live the eagle life,

If on the slippery way you run, you'll fall!

Wait and suck knowledge,

Wait and build boots,

Wait and build wings,

You can soar with wings.

Trash it out!

You don't have to be like them,

Though in their minds they wear same uniform,

Don't run like them!

The first to take off might be the last to land,

And the last who soars the first to land,

If they line up on the track,

Take a shift out of the track to reason.

Your values is in your uniqueness,

They walk and run on the slippery pathways,

You soar above them while you wait,

While you wait and fine your own way.

After all, you are not heading to the same palace,

All the way to palace, but different palace,

If you follow them, you will slip and miss your way,

Wait and get off the slippers.

In a Nutshell;

Youth, these days walk with a uniform mindset. They want to go the same pathway, even though they slip, they want to follow their friends' way of doing it, they want to follow their society's way of doing it. They never see any value in being unique.

       Joseph could have escaped being put to jail if he did it their way in Egypt by sleeping with his boss's wife. His journey might be so fast, because he would enjoy her master's wife's favour, but he would not reach his destination according to God's plan. But because of his uniqueness(self-discipline and the fear of God)  displayed, he soared from prison to palace.(Genesis 39:7-20).

         It is very important to understand the danger behind uniformity of life and comparison. Don't compare yourself with anybody who is not you, instead wait to fine the you in you and follow your own pathway.
