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.
