Dark lyrics of our land.

Mwalimu Wuod Mwalimu

Dark lyrics of our land. 

Whenever I wake up every morning

Whenever I spend every hour of my day

Whenever morning unfolds

To the time darkness calls

It opens always

The box of entire memory

In it to the brim,

The memories of our land

A little glance to it's two corner

Into my sight appears him.

The nemesis of mine

The nemesis of river Kira, 

The river of our forefathers.

The poison of our flash 

The dimmer of our light

We're his best backfriends 

I call him a beast 

The best name a devoted man

From a cathedral can offer

Many a names can do

But the arrow will converge

At him ___

An hyena of our land 

The unwanted arc in our drawings

The unnecessary comma 

Of the old known flowing kira waters

That sends its growths to a coma

He caged the features of our futures

Like the orphaned chicks in the coop

His blessings takes after the coal

Wishes sower, like a carelessly

Homemade ghee

Bitter like the peeling waters of a lemon

He whispers dark heaven,

Remotes our branch to abyss 

So long in depth like his heart

Full of silt of River Nyando.

So hot are his smiles

From the ever grinning lips of deception

Like the ever flowing magma of an active volcano.

__

He forced sweet challenges into our land

Spread the own curses to our beds

He eats our future like bedbugs and lice

Always prays in reds and black

Gowns his face like a village monk

But a cobweb is his heart

Crosses his hands while bowing

Like a pump-type pliers off use

A sign of compressed tomorrow, 

Brighten darkness and dimmed lights.

Our day is a Sunday, Tomorrow is a Monday.

His eyes closed,

Our Monday, his target to bomb off

Oh! The golden bull, the wall against our Monday

The distorter of the river, The bearer of the pain

A day must day, The dream must stop

The end must ___

God for us all.
