Evolution…
Kutoka kati na blada
Cha mama na cha baba
Chobo ua na futa
Na kuona Tv kwa ma neigbour
Kutoka slippers na sandak
Bata bullets na ngoma
Sunday best na sahunya
Na uniform pair moja
Now even the estate joke
Dreams of greatness
Each thought dedicated to the pursuit of richness
In a world so soulless
That the dirtiest of us all
Stand tall as this decade’s heroes.
After innocence is dropped
Other people’s blood shed
And the books balanced
To reflect just a little more
Than previously owned
Or previously owed
We wake up again
And do it all the same
Change.
Running away from ourselves
Running towards no one else
To find ourselves
Alone
Evolved.
Survived
By nothing
But raw ambition
In a quest
To be different
From who we really are.
Evolution.
Kila mtu anahama mtaani
Kuishi kule anatamani
Hakuna kitu poa kutoka zamani
Tunasahau mpaka si ni nani.
Look in the mirror
Horror?
Pleasure?
Evolution: Revealing you to yourself since 0000B.C
