Wise words!
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
When education is despairing
And your energy diminishing
When you rarely understand anything
And the teacher rants at your weakling
Wise words dispel hopelessness daring
When life worries take you captive
Tearing through your defensive
Whipping away your sense of being brave
Teeming with snarls grave
Wise words encouragement give
As your spouse gives you a head ache
Making your marriage to shake
Aghast from what you thought a cake
Marrying your only one with love a lake
a heed of wise words halt the break
If you take to advice while in gloom
When from the distance looms doom
It will be well with your problem
What you do is carry on your back the emblem
It is the wise words that act as the epitome
