Analysis of I yearn for money!
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
I yearn for money
Day and night
I ponder how to get ‘em
But what would I do?
Too much makes insecurity
Too little brings misery
The medium brings about
Lack of budgeting
The needs numerous
The wants expanse
The budget crammed
The source….oh my!
Whenever they come
More are needed
Needs crop up fast
Taking over the money
Now! I haven’t said
I wouldn’t mind a fortune
But one without disaster
And one that is honest!
