The Saying

The say its a myth
How can that be
They say its a norm
Who said that
Its what the say

Never open your mouth
Unless you are required to do so
Never make a decision
Unless you are willing to endure the consequences
Never underestimate anyone
Unless you are making a full of yourself

They said it was written
Who wrote it
They said it was known
Who could have known
It what they said

Sibusisiwe, I like this poem. They said it would be so. And so did I. But could I have been wrong? Or they? It's not for me to say, or know. At least not this day. -Richard
