yote, yalianza na single shot
across the road, dada akinywa tot
ilikuwa afternnon, so hot
si unajua life is unpredictable not…
tulisikia tu echo
bullets, tulidhani haziko
mama alihisi kulia, her tears so dry
donna, maybe Mola ndiye alijua why…
Father alisoma,
kitabu ni psalms 23
‘the Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want’
na baba, akalazwa 10ft under…
life ilikuwa so hard
days zili-grow darker
tuli-call to our maker
bu’ tulikuwa too loud to be heard…
ati atangaye sana na jua hujua
waswahili walijifanya, eti wanajua
heri kusikiza the English-men, wanajua
the peasants have no say, si unajua…
struggles zilitujaza uoga
maisha ikatupiga teke ya haga
tukabaki bila the way forward
the only way, run backward…
mama alipata job, ya usiku
akaanza safari zake, za usiku
kutuacha kwa jirani,paka usiku
bu’ at least alileta food,hata kama ni usiku…
siku ni ya tatu
tarehe kumi na tatu
mama kakahoa maneno matatu
psalms ishirini na tatu
mama kakosa kuamka, mara ya tatu…
sikujua, she was in search of the coin, angejua
sikujua, the myth was truly haunting, angejua
sikujua, we were next in the line, hatukujua
sikujua, she was a member, hatukujua
koinange street, ndyo najua…
na sasa tumebaki,
kulia kwi kwi kwi
luke 9:60
‘let the dead bury their own dead’…
hey,
shikanisha lines
it’s out there calling
angjua…ningejua…
