The ancient tune
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
Hearts that beat the ancient tune,
Hail not trouble to their abode.
Their ways are always pristine,
Hoping their life no troubles abide.
Minds that dance to the ancient tune,
Make the most of their time.
They manifest their imagination’s scope,
Masterminding helpful projects.
Souls that produce the ancient tune,
Seek to love but not hate.
Their goal is to promote peaceful tolerance,
Sealing man’s existing law ultimate.
Blood that surges to the ancient tune,
Base their energy towards man’s improve.
They doeth no wrong towards man’s life,
But true to make it better and worthwhile.
