Odhis Chumbi Nyiri

The son of Nyadenge has landed again
From Nairobi the city in the sun
With the current iPhone in the hands
Juxtaposed to our mulika mwizi treasure
The cock is back in the village
To chase over the virgin innocent chicken

Odhis chumbi nyiri
The young women’s suitor
Is back to the innocent hills of Yimbo
Drunk with civilization, breathing the magic
Beyond the reach of the ripples
Of the sacred Naam Lolwe waves
Who will survive
In this our society, now held hostage
By rateng’ chumbi nyiri?

Tall dark and handsome
Light skin with the American height
Is the new phrase in the naive daughters of the soil
He makes their stomachs to rattle
With their intestines boiling
Whenever the flavour of Nyadenge’s son
Odhis Chumbi Nyiri is felt
Now, soon before noon
A free movie will be viewed
Of the black daughters of the soil fighting
Fighting for chumbi Nyiri
Sweet for their pots, they say

Could it be ‘chira’ send by deadly musambwa
To cause division among sisters
And the grand daughters of Ajwang?
The worse is turning to the worst
All caused by Odhis, Chumbi Nyiri

The census is now over
In your land you were counted, we believe
Now we besiege you son of Nyadenge
Okew joSiaya(grandson of Siaya)
Please go back to the city in peace
We can’t stand and bear the loss
The causalities are now all over
We will have to take care of your seeds
Which you planted in our neighbors plots
Through the drip type of Irrigation
By the broadcasting method of planting
