Fire is a good servant but a bad master
Once you thought you have mastered all,
Soon you'll realize that it was just a starter.
Because even the hasty climbers have sudden falls.
Only you've to believe in yourself.
The world is too much of our disgrace.
He can be charming but a bad future.
Don't learn from what you've seen or heard
Learn from what you've experienced.
The bad master is too much in a rush for fancy things,
Wait coz everything comes to those who wait.
And remember slow and steady wins the race.
Love is a bad master of the future but
A good master of death,
So know who you love, trust and believe in.
The master is there to judge when time ends.
"Judgement day will come, no one will,
Neither laugh nor cry" He said, and was crucified.

Christopher Kudyahakudadirwe: "Know what Happy, these days beauty is in the blood. This is what I have come to realise after reading your poem. Isn't that strange buddy? Keep pushing that pen and we will surely get there. I beg to disagree with you when you say learn from what you have experienced because if you are to get HIV/AIDS it's a very bad lesson."
