During the colonial era, our culture was killed by our colonizers since they considered it backward so that we are now slaves of a culture that will never absorb us.

                       waiting for him

standing by the roadside

waiting

A bird said that he will meet us

here

under this Mugumo tree

we have never seen him

only my grandparents who saw him

they saw him being killed

We are waiting for him

Him that we have never seen

he was called backward

Uncivilized

that my culture was primitive

I still wait for him

he never dies

not unless we all die

am tired of this slavely

like th wind

I want to be free

so am waiting for him

here

by the roadside

under this mugumo tree

that a bird said he will meet

Us here
