Roy Wala Waisraeli

ROY OF THE LIGHT Legend talks of a young boy the name ROY tired of being a mortal he traveled to the land of light There he embraced the light He became a creature of light with ability to move move at the speed of light and take any look he fancied.. now Roy fancied.. nay loved loved them nice girls i speak of ROY for he grew up in our village WE nicknamed him WANDA ROY For a travellor he was the first of the pilgrims ROY the just ROY, a mystique.. ROY a defender of the down trodden ROY a defender of justice i speak of ROY for he grew up in our village ROY the one who always saw more yet admitted too little they now say ROY roams the big city.. NAIROBI.. And did ROY love them gracious ladies ROY of light indeed loved them fair lasses ROY we loved to tease.. the skirt snitch.., i speak of ROY for he grew up in our village ROY thou an ordained brother of the church ROY now a musician ROY morrow a cop ROY the next day a movie star ROY you are but the star of light ROY a computer wizard i speak of ROY for he grew up in our village Unlike kunti the king ostrich my head is unburried under the sand dont i know ROY.. ROY my kinsman ROY who taught me eloquence ROY the teacher of subtle and master of martial arts i believe ROY for we grew up together ROY a resource beneath the cloud ROY a variant of norms ROY a teacher of customs ROY just ROY.. You loved the feel linen i believe in you ROY for we grew in the same household Years come and go seasons come and pass they are born and given to be wed But ROY OF the light.. are you not a resource beneath a cloud you are the echo of light you are the beacon of light i speak of you ROY you are my kinsman ROY the resource beneath a cloud.. ROY..We knew he was just ROY, THE JUST ROY And Israeli our people ROY Will always remain ROY... ROY nimo mawala ma israeli.

thanks Linda ROY a legend so you believe more stories about roy will come up, its about a boy growing up lookin ordinary but every body knows he is different like i didnt say ro just needs to know you and he will communicate with you a hundred kilometres away..a character verywell. he is the greatest producer of music at the moment in my country... i encourage roy for someone so gifted, he likes to blend.. am trying to say its okey to be different...its okey to embrace your gift and not hide them... am drawing out roy coz hes our great son yet... he doesnt want to be known, he uses aliases to do things...am telling roy he needs hide no more we know hium better, than he probably knows himself... thanks was just giving higlight... the character Roy is based on an actual person..who i know like my own reflection in a mirror... a master of martial arts....i can go on and on...and yes he claims israel the angel is his bro... thankx... walla means cunning in swahili...mysterios ROY...***LUIS

Roy is about a character who is not understood by many.. with the recurrent theme of the supernatural, it should be noted in Africa the villager always has an explanation for what you would consider mundane - which leaves you mersmerized..
