Your Dress Your Character

It began with my dress my choice,

A cry from the women including Joyce,

What culminated to poor dressing choice,

Your dress your character.

Your dress defines your poise,

Even before we get to hear your voice,

Which may express nothing but noise,

Your dress your character.                                

I love the kalenjin’s brown leather jacket,

It expresses their inmost real facet,

Their countrywide laudable docket,

Your dress your character.

Observe the dressing codes of the royals,

They hardly compromise good morals,

What should be replicated by the locals,

Your dress your character.

Cladding is different from doctors to pastors,

Not the ‘pastors’ who are real monsters,

And a pilot can’t clad like a pornstar,

Your dress your character.

Dressing differentiates a student from a teacher,

A non – Christian from a devoted preacher,

And of course a creator from its creature,

Your dress your character.

Show me your dress and I’ll tell your personality,

Not the hidden one may be the reality,

And you will confirm it is your eccentricity,

Your dress your character.
