NIMECHOKA

NIMECHOKA. By Nelson Kilonzo
Saa check,
Stock take,
Head yako present, check
Vote yako inakurepresent, take
Decision yako u-make
Future yako tu-make

Time yetu ‘mefika
Alafu msiba sije’fika
Cause’ hao majamaa wata-come
Like five years bila kuja home
Ma-promise kibao,
Tupeni twao, tu-mbao
Shida itawa sisi bila wao
But si, sisi ndio ‘litupa mbao?

Itabidi tu-stop
Tu-stalk na tu-talk,
“Tumechoka, na si madharao.”
Ikibidi uliza hata makarao.
Kutubeba kimadharao
Juu shida zetu si zao hao

Mkenya nimechoka torture
Sasa ‘heshimiwa hesabu hadi moja,
Tatu…mbili…moja.
Juu nitakutoa, na hiyo si hoja
Nikikunja sleeve, shati na toja
Kunakili za Mkenya hoja
Stima, afya, njia, ukame na maji…
Guess ndio maana ocha huji
Ku-buy idea zangu, ati ni great
Baadae kuzipindua ndio ni-regret.
But hii time I swear,
Sura ya kazi kwanza niki-wear,
Sizungumzi, kura ndio kuongea.
Si-mind kule utaenda, hadi anywhere,
Kama chuma kwa acid, out uta-wear.

No…no…no…
Siteseki no more,
Decision yangu nishafikia,
Keti chini, relax, sikia
Bunge tena hutafikia
Kule nitapeleka atakayenisikia,
So wewe come out here,
But u-siishi na fear,
Juu stay yako nita-care.
