Serah: the Arrival of Young Ben

Watu wa mrimaa
                                      watu wataita watu wavoi



a light rain covered the land
as i was on my nite watch looking
unto the heavens for i had been bid..
to await the coming of young Ben

a shooting star lit the eastern sky
touching down in the hilly regions
near the coast of our country.....
i witness the arrival.. the birth

feeling tired i went indoors pondering
over the strange arrival.. guardian i had
just witnesses i sent a message to Maggie
Maggi i have seen the star if Ciira...

the most exhilarating thing... and we had
a Ceeras camera on stand by... in-case the
spies decided to attack that day....
ancient prophecy says it will grow dark

30 years after the first sighting of the watchers
and defenders will have to rely on the pathfinder..
the pathfinder program to find their way....
in a time of darkness when the light is tested

The seers in their wisdom dedicated a new born king
in anticipation of an invader 30 years from now...
young Ben did you bring glad tidings...
young Ben a hero deserves a warm welcome..
