Ask To Be Told

By John Tamakloe

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
