Yang sitara
The mighty waters
From the cherengani
we come from
moving like miraa transporters
we are still youths
full of strength and vigour
we are the waters of
the mighty nzoia
running towards the Nile
We cut accross the valleys
creating boundaries
destroying farmland
uprooting trees
and taking away lives
of innocent living
but our journey
still goes on
despite we getting tired
for our mission is
to run towards the Nile
We walk through the plains
we meet our cousins
from the ever full yala
some of us escape
the channel
run through the plains
leaving fertile soils
at the plains
Soon at the victoria we reach
so tired
almost dying
we sit down
but we are told
you must go on
the journey is not over
to the Nile
slow paced we walk
ready to undertake
the longest journey
the waters of our type
on earth can take
for we are the
mighty waters of the Nzoia
Full of strength and vigour again.
