The Death of King Mussabwa Mundi
as no person succeeded to hide truths, don't stop to loud your speeches.
poem by author.
When Prince Musabwa Ngengethe Mundi was 17 years old,
he said to people ,
" as the heir of our family,
I will be the next ruler
and work hard for my people.
my death will astonish thousands of folks
and it will be so difficult
to find my graveyard
on the mountains while I will be witnessing.
My descendants will be wanted
and hunted
for many years.
The survivors will build a strong
Empire by the support of my God Leeza."
Many people did not get his message
as he was the heir with many brothers.
His father could choose an other prince before going
to rest and the royal family could not oppose him.
When his father left ,
Prince Musabwa Ngengethe Mundi was coroneted king,
he was the father of two princes
and one princess at 28 years old.
Some years back , he was poisoned
by some royal enemies
and died at 50 years old.
It was hard for his children to ascend
to the throne as the royal family conflict arose.
Many children , grand children,
great grand children
of king Musabwa Ngengethe Mundi were killed
and the survivors hid for many years
as they were hunted
by their siblings
who stole the throne.
