Dying To Death - Poem by Mwalimu LAKHPIN

Once in a time a story beginsSo many believe and some repentPeople do live in a kind of teasesWhen a few of them do live of hunt Dream is a long story we never reciteTo be plucky is what I dreamt of when ignitedYet a coward principled to never be a dintBut all of a sudden the berk have got enfeebled. Ambitions are useless when you're not in takeYou better be shut if only your deals are loveOne of...

Fallen, a night that was horridWhen I rebuked with my lastAwoke embraced with the maidIn the middle of the night. She is the cutest of the maidsThe best encounter I ever didThat moons can't never get z'sInvading the tilt, glad on our land. Winds come to never tire her upLove is meant to inspire herUnaltered blinks at me so popA smile that creates prosper. Wounds in thousands won't hurtWhile the cure...

Si kera cyane ungeze mu masoUndasa ikico ubwo ndamirazaNgacya mu maso uko nkubonyeUmutima utera utinye ariko utwaweNti : “Tuza ntuza untamaza !” Uko bukeye unyuzura cyaneGusa ndabizi ko bidakwiyeKuko natinze kugera aho uriAhari aba ari nge ushinzeNtacurwa ntotwa nk’uwazubaye. Ubizi cyane unsomye mu masoSimpisha rwose ariko mpisha byinshiKuko natojwe kuziga cyaneNgo ejo igikwiye mbe ari cyo ndonkaCyo...

Within a world so wanderMost of us live in pretenceTo puzzle hopes we all surrenderDreaming until it never ends. Holding a light all the wayNever becomes being rightIt's chasing darkness awayAnd always be ready to fight. Understanding all the aboutIs never knowing the withinNor knowing what’s upBut being introduced therein. Being a head to a crowdNever means being meantIt's all being prioritizedReady...

Nakabaye ndi nde? None se ubu bwo ndi nde? Ko ikibazo cyanzubaje Ntazi niba n’abandiHaza uwampa inama? Ni nde watumye ndi aha Ngo ahari mubaze impamvu Ari uku we yabishatse Ntampe amahirwe n’amweYo kuba naba ndi undi?

I solitarily exult day after dayWishing to stay alone with myselfWatching over my own stancesLearning and practicing by myselfAway from all people’s sight. To whom would I be if I avoid you?I would be a forsaken, evited smirkerOf the neglected and praised doubtsMaking a walk of a deft chancerLiving like a decayed fantasy. I would be ruined in every aspectNone ignoring me but fleeingChances setting...

I know how it really feels To be a bastard and piece of shit To accommodate unsuitablenessAnd always enduring. At least I now know How to truly love When you’re a strange personalityAnd everyone is avoiding you. I know fighting against oneself Being on a life-earning battle That you fully know you won’t winAnd you keep the guts to fight. I know how it...

Sometimes I forget who I am Trying to get along with myself Yet every morning I wake up Recalling all my deepest sorrowsAnd the darkest days of my days. I truly wish I can be more than me I chase dreams like everyone does I pretend that I’m a whole person That I can sharply hide my oppressionsLying about me but never to myself. The insane part is who I really...

Dear English,I know you can read when I’m writing You’re going too far ruining my life Perishing my happiness and confidence But there is something you normally forget,I’m a Kinyarwanda native. Please drop your guns and note That I didn’t like you even once Dominating my mother tongue. I wasn’t born to speak youI wasn’t going to adapt it either. I struggle...

Gosh! This train so superbSo still and lot of dreamsMany of which we all absorbThe state full of huge worriesA state to get in unwillingly. To one corner a man wondersThe other cage women cryUnaltered yells of all creaturesGetting tears that never dryBroken hearts dying slowly. Love is never got backFaith kills than it healsTrust hidden with no luckRude scenes and wrong willsFidelity is a sin, reality...

Dearest Land! You’re a dream differedAn indefinite dream for unkeyedYou break too many heartsHeal too many souls abruptlyKill so many indeed lovesThus incite a life of pretence. You’re a money made lifestyleA suitable dilapidate religionA refuge to desperate buddiesThat many believe you’re a curbYet you confuse fidelitous colleensAnd deceive whoever you want.But you’re a dam of opportunities. Dearest...

Hey! I’m just me because it’s meOf course, my me died longtime agoTo only become meAnd will be me until you me meNot only that I’m me, I’m just not you!I only prove myself to just meAnd there is no other me in the worldThan me, myself and IBecause I’m the only one meAnd I am so because of me. But I failed against me foreverLoving overgone beyond my kenSurrendered my me to hersLoved much to forget...

Ndwaye indwara ntazi Iransereza bahungu Ndeba hirya hino Ari ibikezikeziIbyuya umubiri wose. Umutima udiha utitsa Umuriro mwinshi notsa Mu nda byadogeye Amaso mpumbyahumbyaMfite akamwenyu kenshi. Nshatse kubaza mama Nsanga sinamuzi Ngiye kubaza data Nsanga sinzi iyo ariIntege zicika numva. Nuko ngira amahirwe Nsanga uvunyira data ...

Naba nitwa umwamiKandi ntaho ntwaraBanzi cyane ntabaziNtawambonye n’umweNtujwe ntuye aheza. Sinaba nkitwa MuhireUtsindwa atanarwanyeUtagira ijambo n’iwe;Mpuguza abantu zikeraMbuguza imari bukwavu.Nta cyo najya ntinyaKabone n’ibyo ndebaNange ubwange ntakwiyeNkundwa ntazi impamvuNta cyo nkora gihomba. Najya ndota mpangaBugacya byogeye hoseN’ibifaranga umurundoNdi umuhanga mu bandiN’umuco ubwawo unkeza....
