Ask To Be Told

Ask to be told 
Is an advice 
The wise accept, the unwise ignore 
To their destruction 

Ask to be told 
If accepted and 
Followed, turns a Fool 
Into a Wise person 

Ask to be told 
If obeyed and practised 
Turns the ignorant
Into a knowledgeable 

Ask to be told, 
As a piece of advice Becomes handy 
When you are at the Crossroads ; 
Not knowing which way to turn

Ask to be told, 
And you’ll never;
Miss the way! 
Nor your blessings. 

Ask to be told 
Always remember 
It’s a four-word sentence 
Carry it with you every day.

John Franklin Tamakloe
