Chapati Zikiwa ngumu.

Chapati zikiwa ngumu, kiwango cha kutolika
Hazitamu hazinyamu, na kooni kutoshuka
Nani wa kumlaumu, nipe jibu la hakika
Chapati zikiwa ngumu, ni nani tumlaumu

Au tunaweza sema, ni yule wa kiwandani
Kazi haijui vyema, na wala hana makini
Na hawezi kujituma, kufanya unga laini
Chapati zikiwa ngumu, ni nani tumlaumu

Pengine ni mkandaji, hajui vyema kupika
Hanacho yeye kipaji, kukanda ukakandika
Au hafahamu maji, ya kwenye unga kuweka
Chapati zikiwa ngumu, ni nani tumlaumu

Au labda ni samli, hakujua kukisia
'Litia bila kujali, kiwango mahususia
Labda hapo ndo kafeli, shaghala kujikandia
Chapati zikiwa ngumu, ni nani tumlaumu

Au mwenye kusukuma, pengine amechangia
Hakuzisukuma vyema, nene aliziachia
Au mwasemaje jama, akilini laingia?
Chapati zikiwa ngumu, ni nani tumlaumu

Pengine alozipika, hakuwa nayo makini
Alikuwa na haraka, ya kuwahi kipindini
'Mekuwa ngumu hakika, haziliki abadani
Chapati zikiwa ngumu,ni nani tumlaumu

ashikiwakiswahili

'Limpenda kanikana, sasa anitaka tena, Na nilipata kimwana, wenyewe tunaendana, Mtoto mzuri sana, wa kumzidi hakuna, Ila naye ni kicheche, wengi wanamtambua. Ila naye ni kicheche, wengi wanamtambua, Hatembei na wachache, penzini hajatulia, Hunichoma kama cheche, moyoni nikaumia, Ila nataka mfunza, huenda akageuka.

BRIDGING THE AGE GAP THROUGH CONSERVATION

A photo showing members of Kwale Pen People, Kwale Arts, SHIFOGA and Wazee wa Kaya preparing the field for tree planting. DEMYSTIFYING THE TERM KAYA. (Episode 1 of the story telling sessions) Adigo Similani! We’re approaching Kaya Nimwache in the Ziani ((Ziwani) area of Matuga sub-county and our stupid conversations cut short by the field in front of us, popularly known as Bingo. A lot of local soccer matches happen here I’m told, this is my first time and I honestly feel attacked because whoever is leading the way wasn’t born neither did he spend the first 19 years of his life around this area. Anyway, we walk our way through past the “soccer field” into a swampy field to the other side (I really wish I was good at directions) where the rest of the participants in this program are. Talking about the program, BRIDGING THE GAP, is a program with the aim of narrowing the gap between the youth and the elderly in the society. The first phase being tree planting...

TO THE SOUL

Istock.com Dear soul… Today, I want to talk to you. It really pains me, seeing how much you’re suffering, in distress, pain, agony, depression over matters that are out of your control. You have failed me so many times when you almost gave up and thought as though no one sees your sufferings. Don’t you believe that all that we go through is by the decree of our creator? I know you do know that everything that happens was long planned by the master of planners. Then why waste plenty of your precious time worrying over Allah’s decree. He knows you much more better than you do to your own self. How about live a worry-free and hope-full life acknowledging that everything is in control? If life was only made of good days, we would never learn to appreciate it, we would never know how it feels to be really Joyous. It’s the bad days that make us stronger, they make us more humble and adds up to our gratitude, because life, is made of two days; one is for you, and one against you. Learn ...
