Asubuhi waamka, <br />Waanza kukuna kichwa, <br />Unawaza, <br />Utawaza sana! <br />Ukipata jawabu, <br />Heko nyingi. <br /> <br />Jana, <br />Hukuyamaliza yalojiri, <br />Ungeyamaliza vipi? <br />Uwezo hukuwa nao, <br />Kwa nini? <br />Najua huna jibu. <br /> <br />Maisha! <br />Kwani ni nini? <br />Ama yana nini? <br />Utawaza sana, <br />Nami nawaza sana, <br />Ala kumbe? <br />Kumbe nini? <br /> <br />Wajiuliza mara mia, <br />Uwape tena? <br />Lipi jipya litakuja? <br />Ngoja kidogo. <br />Maisha, maisha, <br />Yanakwisha, <br />Usiseme hivyo, <br />Nisemeni? <br />Sijui. <br />Hayo madaraka, <br />Tumewapa, <br />Wengine wakachukua bila kupewa, <br />Nini chanzo? <br />Pengine tamaa. <br />Tulikuwa na matarajio, <br />Eti eh! <br /> <br />Matarajio? <br />Ya nini tena, <br />Kwenu hamli? <br />Hapana. <br />Sasa nini? <br />Hali bora. <br /> <br />Alaa kumbe! <br />Ikawaje sasa? <br />Hatuhitaji kukujibu, <br />Maana hali yenyewe, <br />Mwenyewe si unaiona? <br /> <br />Hapana sioni kitu, <br />Ni kweli, <br />Huoni kitu ingawa una macho, <br />Machoyo mapambo, <br />Huwezi ona lolote, <br />Kwa kuwa, <br />Hupendi kufanya jitihada, <br />Jitihada? Za nini tena? <br />Katika kufikiri. <br /> <br />Mmh! <br />Sote tukaguna.<br /><br />Fadhy Mtanga<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alaa-kumbe/
