Abdallah Mpogole Poems

Morning as it comes,

We are waiting for sleeping time.
...

Nisaidieni leso, machozi nijifutie.
Alotabiri ya kesho, hatunaye nikwambie.
Mwalimu wetu spesho, habarize uzijue.
Nyerere namlilia, natamani anisikie.
...

I cant sleep with no word to you;
I cant say without knowing who,
I cant play before i can play some with you'
...

Maishani ubora wa umri kwenda,
kila dakika inayosonga yazidishe mawanda,

Dunia ya leo vyema jitafutie kitanda,
...

Morning to the sea first ever for me,
Full of fish that fools around me,
The big sea that I wished one day to see.
...

It will be a story everyone to tell,
I wish to be there among them to tell,
What will they share about him?
That day will come when i'm gone.
...

I woke up with marry me feeling,
Till midnight it sorrounds my ceilling,
There hanging the whole day ringing,
Marry me, Marry me, who will be?
...

Is there a place they 've been giving you the wage,
You look so kind if not that mouth mileage,
Dig from holes and even of the cage,
However none of customers ever award you a badge.
...

Dear my brother we shared one mother,
Where have you gone as none to call brother,
Do you remember those days with our Grandmother.
...

To their song at night my ear's were fond, as though they took so long.

I was to as none was arround, with tones that lift any pound.
Nowhere but on bed i was to stay.
...
