Fearless plus unfiltered,
Brazent also bold,
Wouldn't ever listen,
Couldn't be told.
Caring and loyal,
Full of cheek,
Made you laugh,
Every single week.
Love and hate,
In one day,
Wouldn't have him,
Any other way.
Hearts left broken,
Tears forever run,
You'll always be,
Our number one.
Shining his light,
Throughout the sky,
The brightest star,
Our wee Kye.

Nabavyusa bavila,
Nabavyusa bajhoba

Himangeni siye malanga ne ndeeto zetu.

Lake Tanganyika is
Very large
And deep
With many spaces
of fish and animals.
One of the sources
Of finance of Bajoba
( Bavira, Babwari Babemba,
Bamasanzi, Baswima
...etc.)
As they are majority cultivators
And fishers.
Tanganyika is the first lake
with more spaces
of fish in the World,
Second biggest lake in Africa
And
Second deepest lake in the World.
Name Tanganyika is from Kijoba
( Kitanga kye nyika)
Which means the residence
Of electric fish
Which is called
" Nyika"
Many Bajoba were warning
Swimmers about the dangerous
Electric fish in the lake.

Note:
Bajoba: fishers
Most tribes living the boundaries of lake Tanganyika in Tanzania, Burundi, DRCongo and Zambia.
Their language is called Kijoba
When you go to Bavira,
They call it" kivira "
Babwari call it "kibwari, "
Babemba call it " kibemba "
but all are Bajoba
Bantu with same
Tradition and culture.

There once was a boy called Kye
Who liked to get ever so high
So he climbed to the top
Of the big chimney pot
Then jumped as he thought he could fly!

(In the 17th c, many women were falsely accused of being witches. Many were banished, and more were burnt at the stake. Of course, none of them were witches, but due to ignorance and intolerance by so-called educated clergy, the women were falsely accused and condemned to die).
Like black rain over the meadow grass
Crows hover amid cackle and harsh laugh
To feed on seed of tomorrow's harvest
Leaving us all with meager leavings.
There they stood with gowns flapping
Like black wing of flocking crows
Cackling in judgment sober and stern
To deprive us of life and liberty.
Caged in a dungeon cold and dark
Beneath the kirks lofty roof
Without water and our daily bread
Were starved and scared into confession.
With false witness we were condemned
Sentenced before a trial took place
Tied to a stake and burned alive
Our souls travelled into paradise.
On Orkneys verdant green grass,
Graze our kye and our yowes
Since time began has it been thus
Shadows float black in sky above.

Is that how you see me?
As your last pick?
Others come and go
But where am I?
Here waiting for you
That's cute...if that's what you think
Sure I stay and do what i know is right
But I'm not here for you
No not at all
But will I keep hating you?
Or do what's right
Talking and smiling as if you don't bother me?
You might view me as a leftover
But I'll fix me and make you my friend again
Cuz that's whats right.

Red Rose
Given when in love
Maybe even as a symbol of love
But is love what a single rose mean?
Could that read be a terrifing image
Of your lost love?
An image of blood from the
sharp blade of depression?
Red Rose Red rose
It may force you to see what it wants
But you
You paint the story behind your rose

Ahh this is what it feels like
To be a teen, i mean
I've always looked forwards d
To these crazy years
People always say teens
Are Just no good
Be afraid for your time
Cuz things change
But I say
'I thought change was good?'
No good or greatness?
Everyone one is different
Let us be us!
Young wild and free is all we wanna be
We may get sad for no reason
Get angry or really happy
We are who we are let teens be teens

Alone
Gosh
Here I am
By myself
Alone
You shower me with kind words
Tons of attention
Make me feel higher than a balloon
But now-its different i feel
Alone
Does it always hurt this bad?
Or is it just the first time?
It's funny it hurts
but I don't feel anything
I try
Honestly I do
To write a happy poem
But all i get
Is the sadness of my soul
All I get is the sadness i feel when i am
Alone
