Possess
Meshack Bwoyele Keya 1960 (Vihiga)
Let it not be you don't know ;learn.
It be not you are poor; earn.
Don't say you are not able; try.
It is not that you are wet; dry
What you cannot do is because you haven't tried.
You do not have because you haven't asked
In every new thing there is learning.
In lack of finances there is earning.
Ours is to do and God disposes
All we admire we can possess.
