Fadhy Mtanga Poems

When you're in totality of sorrow,
And not knowing any of tomorrow,
But you're assuring yourself of strength,
Even when time will be of a certain length,
...

When sun rises,
When sun sets,
During the noon,
Or at the evening,
...

If I didn't fulfilled my promise,
Because of my faults,
That I didn't take you there,
Where I had promise you one time,
...

I met her down streets one evening,
She was coming out of what she calls home,
Where she had left a family,
That is her responsibility,
...

Sun rises from East everyday,
Its rays bring new hopes into our lives,
When rain comes to us during the noon,
We thank God for it brings life into us,
...

People of this modern world,
Are too busy, too busy,
So many times we fail,
To accomplish the important tasks,
...

Nijaze mie mahaba,
Ili nile nikashiba,
Nipe mapenzi ya huba,
Nitosheke na dunia.
...

I heard you crying last night,
I heard you whispering so touchfully,
Unfortunately your tone is gone,
I heard the words from your mouth,
...

Nasema wote vukani, sauti zisikieni,
Tokeni usingizini, inukeni vitandani,
Tufanye jambo fulani.
...

Upo huko mashambani,
Kwenye mazingira duni,
Nani anakuthamini,
Akupeleke shuleni?
...
