What Are You? Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

Sail and ferry away as a sailor
Drive and ride away as driver
Teach and educate many as a teacher
Heal and treat the sick as a doctor
Create and model works as an artist
Read, write or broadcast news as a journalist
Form, make or create as an engineer
Fly and dive as a pilot
Surf the internet as a programmer
Look after the kids as a baby-sitter
Mix the chemicals for drugs as a chemist
Find and arrest the criminals as a policeman
Manage the money and keep the accounts as an accountant
Study and pass your exams as a student
Plant and harvest the crops as a farmer
Discover and explain nature as a scientist
Take or make your choice
You must know what you are
So, what are you?
