Kigali In The Morning Poem by Mwenyeji Spikes

Kigali In The Morning



Cold breeze of a decent view overlooking the hills
Every folk and jembe needed for tasks this early Saturday
We live, love and work, in this we discover happiness
Coming back together to lend hand to one another
Our hearts are connected with care and concern for tomorrow

Birds chirping and it's a new dawn though the close of a season
The rains breaking the banks of the beautiful meandering rivers
Karama would remember this from seasons gone none like this one
The joy in the laughter of the playing children makes all well
The morning carries hope of the day that brings our hearts together

Unity in the spirit of the ubuntu stitches us together
The sun on the emblem of the Kigali flag suddenly begins to shine
And the music of the nyambingi lingers in the bliss of the morning
When the greetings on the passer by storm my composure amakuru
With work and rhythm a platterfor the noon is assured with zest

When you look over the horizon past the hills
Thehintof connection with nature gratifies the spirit
Even the kivu waters would never quench the desires of a bliss cool as this
Kigali in the morning, a dawn for emulation my cities all over Africa
