CHISA WARI WA HARUSI

Istockphoto.com

Myawenu nfwitsani, mana mairo nkedza,

Nazoreswa nfulani, dzina sitaki riadza,

Nkadudula vueni, zikanihasiri todza,

Chisa wari wa harusi, Yeya nkakatwa mala.

Aredza nkamuona, nphisa asinichape,

Mchengechenge ye bwana, asiime aphatsape,

Amani chiphahikana, habari zosi nkupe,

Chisa wari wa harusi, Yeya nkakatwa mala.

Naphaha simu ya Mwari, kuna harusi ko kpwao,

"Ndzoo nkupe wari, na usedze na myao,"

Chilaga nine wa Tari, "nenda ndoani mwenzio,"

Chisa wari wa harusi, Yeya nkakatwa mala.

Ayangu kondze akala, mi chumbani chiphiripkwa,

Chichekani chisagala, ko konze atu npkwapkwa,

Sidzangbwe enda salala, sahani hino chiipkwa,

Chisa wari wa harusi, Yeya nkakatwa mala.

Mikono yangu yagbwirwa, ichisuwiwa vinono,

Amba mwenye naererwa, nchigachenula meno,

Gafula uchimenyerwa, na dzilume ra dzikono,

Chisa wari wa harusi, Yeya nkakatwa mala.

"Huyu ni nani we Mwari, haimjui famili?

Hiye bwana ni hatari, watsomola rumu kali,

Phahi nakakama mwiri, chinangamika achili,

Chisa wari wa harusi, Yeya nkakatwa mala.

Bwana hiye wanizanga, chianza ndiro myangu,

Mala gangu chibananga, chisikirato utsungu,

Ila nampiga chenga, namshukuru Mlungu,

Chisa wari wa harusi, Yeya nkakatwa mala.

Nazola ta pkwangu kaya, nafika kuna dziloki,

Ndipho chidzikuyakuya, chitsomoka dza mkuki,

Myawenu nkagaya, nphisa nkadzicheki,

Chisa wari wa harusi, Yeya nkakatwa mala.

Chipembeni nadzibana, chikomo mino natiya,

Higa sigaenda tsona, sedze kisha kajutiya,

Kaya pkwangu ndamvuna, harusini sendaphiya,

Nsedze katwa mkono, chisa wari wa harusi.

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 ...
