By. Sumiman Udu and Omar Pidani I swam over the sea restlessly Crawling through seabed of reefs relentlessly In search of the paths of my ancestors histories now crafted perfectly in our lullabies and telling stories . Hmm, they’ve all vanished tragically All these nests are burnt out into pieces And those sands are not things in common Yet, where is Kaluku Sara Where is Motika Where is Kaindea And where is Untu, Bungi and Sangia Don’t come and bother us, when we’re hopeless Don’t come and buy our piece of earth in the middle of our poverty Don’t ruin our live in the middle of our ignorance Stopi it please, stop it !! Stop all the lies As we’re human just like you We need food, shelter and love Not the crows’ humming Coming out of a lion’s mouth That resembles wolf’s death woofing We’re dying Because our tears are drained From fire you turn to dry them on The rest have spilled over To fill up the court’s room
