Dzaleka

Dzaleka 

like children
dancing and singing in the rain 
we warm up our souls
and erase the scars of our sores
with dance and tunes of love

Jambo wandungu Na marafika
happiness is key
it melts our depression
and kill our differences

like siblings
we share joy and pain
together we paint a scene
even with our remorse unseen 

life is worth a smile 
Dzaleka is the place I call home 
while hoping for a new dawn 
let only the beat of amahoro drums
reign in my veins.
