I have myself to blame

By Regina Wokabi
If things go bad for you,

And make you a bit ashamed,

Often you will find out that,

You have yourself to blame

Swiftly we ran to mischief,

And then the bad luck came,

Why do we fault others?

We have ourselves to blame

Whatever happens to us,

Here are the words we say,

Had it not been for so and so,

Things would not have gone that way,

And if you are short of friends,

I’ll tell you what to do,

Make an examination,

You’ll find the fault’s in you,

You’re the captain of your ship,

So agree with the same:

If you travel downward,

You have yourself to blame.
