Abdallah Mpogole Poems

Tell your sister not to come tomorrow,
because she will be in sorrow,
Tell her to come if she is ready for horror.
...

Starting my day,
Thats a clear day to walk on'
Still i'm enjoying my day
aint a safari you thought, its a journey.
...

Tell who will come,
If then you have gone,
who will sing our loving tone,
I see no one than you alone.
...

Sleep that half dead,
sleep the body not the head.

Sleep that bad said,
...

Asalam alekumu, enyi wababe wa vita.
Marisau na mabomu, kizazi mwakipukuta.
Mumejaa udhalimu, w wenzenu shingo kukata.
Hamuwezi jitawala, somali zidi umana.
...

Its not written in the bumper
They call it a Greater number
From the slums to the high hills.
...

Najiuliza mie, ntapata kwa vipi kazi.
Mbinuzo mnigawie, nijaribu panda ngazi.
Niteni nkaribie, wasijutie wazazi.
Ipi njia mulopita, nipitisheni na mie.
...

Hapo mwanzo tuliona, nia yake ilikwepo.
Imani tulijazana, hakuachwa mtu hapo.
Pamoja tulipendana, wakanza badili upepo.
Babu kaanza kuchoka, ashindwa shika sukani.
...

Ikulu ni jumba gani? Mbona watu waliota!
Heshima na kitu gani, watu huenda kufata.
Mbio lukuki za nini, kisa mpana ukuta?
Kipi hasa chawavuta, kuitwa jina Rais?
...

Ipi nzuri niiote, nilale kwake Mandanje?
Je ufalme niote, niwe waziri wa nje.
Niote napaa kote, kama ndege nala punje?
Nifanyeje nioteje, nilalaje niotaje?
