African Traditional Praise

as the Yao King seated 
on the throne, 
traditional prime minister 
to wayao royal family recited,
"You are the only
 king of Wayao of Mozambique, 
 Zimbabwe, Tanzania 
Malawi and Zambia. 
Praise be to you 
on the majestic throne 
which your great great grand father 
His late majesty king Mndala Chimbalanga
Ndindi Lupeta fought for. 
Restore the dignity 
of all the heads 
of the chiefdoms 
who accepted 
to be ruled
by you from now
till your last breath 
on this planet earth. 
We know that you will continue 
to focus on the ideology
of the late majesty 
king Mndala 
Chimbalanga 
Ndindi Lupeta 
to develop the lands 
and tighten the union 
with many tribes
through Chimbalangism
Which is against racism, 
antagonism,  narcism, 
and  capitalism 
in Africa."
All the chiefs said ,"
We love you 
So much 
Your majesty
king John Twaibu 
Mndala Chimbalanga. 
Live long 
Yao king. 
" one chief sang
a nice song.
reciting loudly,
King Mndala Chimbalanga 
was a symbol of love 
in this country
as he could not chase 
other tribes out of the Yao Kingdom 
when Maravi Kingdom collapsed. 
Let us continue to be
the symbol of love
to other tribes
in this country."
all the Wayao clapped their hands 
to acknowledge the speeches 
Of their leaders.
