Imbeho Idaheza - Poem by Mwalimu LAKHPIN












Umunsi urira ntazi ibyawo
N’undi ukaza nzi ko utarira
Sinzi umunsi urubeho rwaje
Nzajya ndwumva ari amateka
Umwana nkunda akamba hafi.

Amaburakindi ubu ari gukezwa
Akitwa intwaro ndetse rukumbi
Yatuvana mu aya matsa
Nubwo ndeba bikidogera
Nshaje ntashaje aha mu gifungo.

Ibikino byose byaracutse
Inama ibaye ni iki cyago
Nta n’ikindi ifata nk’ingamba
Usibye guhama iwange
Ngo ejo ntagenda nkanagihaha.

Byaba ngombwa ko nanagenda
Ngapfuka umwuka nkabira ibyuya
Itutu ryinshi ndwana n’akuka
Nsabaganya cyane ngo ngire ntahe
Butari bwire ntageze iwange.

Abangaga iwabo bahakunze
Abangaga irungu ni ryo mubanyi
Rwa rugwiro rugizwe icyasha
Henshi icyoba cyasagambye
Ubu rurakinga bane, batanu.

Twese amaso aho tuyahanze
Ni ku buhanga bw’ubutabire
Nubwo mu bandi tuvuga Imana
Ngo itatureba cya kijisho
Maze idohore turye indi minsi.

K’ubu umuntu ahunga uwundi
Ntawukeka ko undi atarwaye
Ubu n’amatungo akora uko ahska
Yaducika akagana ishyamba
Ho haracyari ubuhoro wenda.

Utinye ikintu ingaga zihutswe
Kuko kitica uwabuze icyo arya
Si abatuye ibihanamanga
Barya ruzungu gusa barota
Dore ko abera bageze ahaga.

Isi y’abantu ubu iri mu matsa
Ariko iya nyayo yo iraruhuka
Nta bwo tuzi ubu aho tureba
Aho tutareba ni ho dukeka
Nubwo tuzi ko na ho hera.

Inshuro dukesha kubaho abenshi
Turi mu mazi abira adahosha
Umbajije iby’ejo waba ungoye
Keretse wenda ubajije iminsi
Na yo mitindi idafite ijambo.

Lorn Nous Expression, Special Production by Mwalimu LAKHPIN




Lorn Nous Expression is a special production initiated by Mwalimu LAKHPIN and powered by Basote Jam, a critical thinking and edutainment program that uses expressive arts for self-expression, discovery and discuss social issues towards social wellness and harmony. Basote Jam is a social platform that helps artists talk about their creative endeavors and aspirations, striving to arousing fun, behavior change and exploring personalities artistically.

In this regard, Lorn Nous is a powered project with special sessions and content that contend about juvenile delinquency, drug abuse, domestic violence, child defilement, social anxiety, introversion, loneliness and of course those unspoken stories through unique creative expression.

There a lot of people out there in Rwanda lacking just mechanisms that could help them cope with social anxiety, introversion, deceit or just expressing their innermost feelings or those stories which are still kept unspotted. Introverted artists do not find any breakthrough for their creative endeavors because the media community favors those who socialize the most, and yet those artists have intrinsic stories and content that would help the rest of the population struggling with personalities or social cohesion difficulties. We want to create a spotlight that brings people out from their shelves and discuss psychosocial issues as we give heed to artists who weren’t able to showcase their talents through the current channels and content that has been less regarded by promoters of today.

This is a must see platform that is not only fostered on the alleviation of the creative endeavors of artists, but becoming a game changer in the performing arts practices that stimulate wellness and harmony.

Would you like to support or donate to this important project, don't hesitate to reach out to us or follow our online fundraising pages. The raised funds will strategically help "Lorn Nous" achieve it's goals through our key project activities that are summarized into: Sessions setup and backdrops, Audiovisual equipment and accessories, relevant production expenses and outreach facilities.

We will keep you posted for fresh updates here
