Kaya Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

It is required that you perspire
This is how serious wealth you acquire
If you love to sleep
Your wealth you wont keep
No use saying you are in the choir

It's really not enough to aspire
To become the biggest richest buyer
All you do is plan
Plan you may you can
Wealth is made by those who do not tire

You need not have been that wealthy prior
You just need to have a bit of fire
To carry your wish
Ignore advice which
Many people end up in quagmire

You must distinguish advice of liar
From advice of your childhood friend Maya
Is the advice good?
Is the advice rude?
If you follow will take you higher?

You cannot even trust an old Friar
Though he knows there's fire on a pyre
He can mislead
You can misread
If you want to be rich don't inquire

Get off your high horse and burn a tyre
Work hard with gusto, a bit of ire
You will be rich
Just like a sikh
And your life be beautiful like Kaya's

Kaya wanted so much to be rich
That's all he talked about in his speech
He went to the bank to borrow money; "Come in Mr. Kaya"
"The police informed us your house is on fire"

Know that hard work gets you results
And people will respect you, no insults
You live a contented easy life with wife
And be respected like Kaya in your life
