Farewell Gitogo!
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
Twas the best of moments
When we learnt with you
Talking in our vernacular
Whiling away the vast moments
Truly, you were my ideal leader
With your wisdom, in need unleashed
The many lessons you gave me
Will never add up to a worldly figure
Fate has it that we part
Though couldn’t it have waited?
Fault is not yours but good luck
Thus pursue it to the world’s end
Mine is to wish you my very best
And forget not thy yester people
Many are the times situations change
And to their mercy you always lie!
Goodbye!
