The Cloudy Path

He traces the path of the eagle A second eagle joins the first The two eagles dance in the sky Then the suddenly swoop down Unto a nest atop a tall gravellia tree They snatch the young ones from the nest The mother and father finch gives chase Biting the eagles from above and below He is reminded of the first world war He went to Burma in the great war And his grandson went to berlin He was searching for German sheperds Feared he was and Weru they called him They named the great captain Makiada He brought untold terror to Kings rifles The war is over we retell the stories He fought in Burma trying times they had Back home they by oath bound themselves To liberate thier land, Weru was your name They named you the great captain Makiada Code 254 Lewis NYAGA A MAUMAU REMEMBRANT Thoome Wairegi
