BABAIKO


Bismillahi tamko, la mwanzoni
Naanza langu andiko, kwa makiniNandikie babaiko, la nyoyoni
Liuke lije zinduko, lenye kheri

Naliona liko huko, ugenini
Na huko vilevile liko, miijini
Watu waendako siko, ni kwa nini?
Wasoenda watumwako, kwenye kheri

Ni utashi ulioko, wa mageni
Au ni kupuza miko, ya zamani
Ndiposa twenda kusiko, tumaini
Bila kwogopa viboko, vya akheri

Au tuna tamauko, kwa yakini
Na mengi masikitiko, aushini
Hatufiki tuendako, furahani
Na wenzetu walo huko, masururi

Haya yote yangawako, sikizani
Kule ndu yangu uliko, niamini
Mola kakuweka huko, mtihani
Furaha au vituko, tabasuri

Kuna kule uendako, kwa wendani
Kule daima ambako,  kwakwauni
Daima watu wa huko, hukwamini
Huko ndiko upendwako, sijighuri

Na kuna kule ambako, watamani
Upendo huko hauko, ngaamini
Wajikokota kokoko! Masikini
Kutaka kisicho chako, wajighuri

Bali kubali andiko, vitabuni
Utapata kilo chako, kwa mizani
Na ambacho sicho chako, ngatamani
Katu hakiwi cha kwako, kwa qadari

Ni ukingoni niliko, Sulemani
Tuliwache sikitiko, ikhiwani
Huko ndu zangu tuliko, shukuruni
Na kama kuna vituko, tusubiri

Mwaphatsa Suleiman,
Mneni Moyoni,
Abuu Hulaimah.

NIFANYEJE?

pixabay.com free images  Ndugu zangu nawaomba, mwenzenu 'saidieni, Mana nishagonga mwamba, sijui nifanye nini, Dau langu linayumba, lataka zama majini, 'Limpenda kanikana, sasa anitaka tena. '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. Ila nataka mfunza, huenda akageuka, Mana vyema hunitunza, hadi nikafurahika, Na huyu mwingine mwenza, tabia 'mekamilika. Tatizo alinigura, wakati 'lipomtaka. Tatizo alinigura, wakati 'lipomtaka, Ninahisi ufukara, ndo chanzo cha kunepuka, Kwa sasa nami nang'ara, ndio kwangu achipuka, Amekuja kuniomba, nimpe wangu mtima. Amekuja kuniomba, nimpe wangu mtima, Kweli ilopo ni kwamba, mamboye yote ni mema, Janga linalonikumba, nitamwacha nani nyuma? Mana yeye yu kamil...

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 ...
