An Ode to the African literary Giant NGÚGÍ WA THION'GO
#kenyan_literature #african_literature #reading #books #bookstagram

Translation;
Straight outta Kamíríthú
From just a toddler on a baby carriage or maybe a leso
To becoming a The Worrior
Not armed with a Shield and a Spear but with a Pen and a Pad
Writing to expose the ills taking place
To awaken the People, have them learn that their wealth is being drained away.
Made a wake up call, had them sit and focus
And be serious about they self
Find a purpose to push on
A Decolonization,
so I don't loose my course
Am an artist, I'll be for the truth and never bend it, for this is the UPRIGHT REVOLUTION
Let the Lion tell the tales of hunting via the Performing Arts and Music without a discord
Let's talk this GRAIN OF WHEAT


He who adopts the culture and the language of the others and discards his is a Slave
But he who Keeps his firm but also learns of the others is a King
That's why am on time, assembling these syllables on top of each other
Like a pile of miraa... dedicated to the chew,
So are these words,
We are mouthful ready for the chant.
Showcasing our Linguistics, Proverbs
Having fun with the words, writing poetry just like
GAKAARA WA WAJAÚ
a... b... CDM Kíratú sang "Ngoro yakwa í Límuru ( My heart resides in Limuru)

(His name KÍRATÚ can also be translated to a SHOE, of which Limuru is widely known to be in production of)

Find the Name "FLOWFLANI" on the rise
Chanting like a worrior as the competition falls
And if I ever become your guest, I won't leave sweet charms outside, I shall step in with it just in case I find your world dull.
