It is waiting for you,
To be timely hit as urgent deed,
Within the period allocated,
To pull another task complementing,
To produce, get, reap one thing,
Yes, do it right now, don’t say later,
You don’t definitely know,
It might be never,
And lost forever,
Discharge whatever you have at hand,
Or given to accomplish on time,
Don’t afraid of making mistakes,
If you think relating to such directions,
Since they are sources of lessons,
Note that there is only one being,
The man who never makes mistakes,
Devoid of errors,
He who is good for nothing,
Does nothing! Carries out nothing!
Those who would like to procrastinate,
There is something they should note,
If today’s mission is postponed,
And well backlogged,
Or simply overlapped,
Tomorrow must be loaded,
As its tasks are irresponsibly pushed,
Then the mission could hardly be hit,
And the whole scenario is disrupted,
Obviously, the mission surfs in vain,
With regrettable move with no gain,
So don’t procrastinate,
To properly make growth net,
Say no to procrastination!
Follow the ‘just do it’ fashion!
As this helps reap today’s ration,
Keeps the balance and action proportion,
Always remember that the longer you wait,
For duties not to meet on time,
The worse the circumstance gets and pulls crime,
Procrastination has been witnessed cancerous,
For development strides,
Even sometimes people are heard of saying ‘who cares,’
They assigned there to meet their share,
So as to contribute to the national effort,
Targeting at reaping yummy fruit,
If they don’t care, who do really care?
True, developing nations are inflicted,
With such a clumsy attitude,
That needs to be eradicated,
There is a golden saying goes,
“Forget yesterday, because it was dead,
Nurture today as it is at you palm,
Don’t think about tomorrow as you never know,”
Yes, it’s rewarding, telling and smart utterance,
That can smash out intelligent hindrance,
Better to comprehend procrastination,
It is a destructive machine,
And sign of laziness, being lousy,
To meet thus moment mission, one must be busy,
Don’t procrastinate as it is quite unfortunate!!!
So as to seize the ever increasing global motion,
To come up with era-tailored production,
Say no to procrastination!
