PANYA WALA BATI

(Nimetunga ushairi huu kwa heshima ya marehemu Omar Babu Marjan alituacha wiki jana_Mungu ailaze roho yake mahali pema peponi)

Malenga nimeshaketi,nimekabidhiwa cheti
Naiongoza kamati,inayotoa ripoti
Nimeshaikunja shati,tayari kula kaimati
Hawa panya wala bati,wanitia hatihati

Jombi kapewa kontrakti,na kukatiwa tikiti
Akanunua simiti,na vile vile mabati
Tulidhani kismati,tukamwachia penalti
Hawa panya wala bati,wanitia hatihati

NIKIPEWA NAPENDELEWA?

NIKIPEWA NAPENDELEWA?

Nineshindwa kujuwa,ni kipi kinachokuchoma
Mambo yangu sawasawa,zamu yako kunisema
Nduguyo ‘mefanikiwa,kwako wewe ni husuma
Ukipewa wastahili,n‘kipewa napendelewa?

Mwenzangu wanidhihaki,kwa yale wanitendea
Tangu jadi una chuki,kisasi waniwekea
Utendayo sio haki,laana wajiletea
Ukipewa wastahili,n‘kipewa napendelewa?

UREFU WA KUNGUNI

UREFU WA KUNGUNI

Kuna kosa twalifanya, maelezo tukitoa
Watanzania na Wakenya, naomba kuwakosoa
Ndugu yenu nawakanya, umoja sitabomoa
Na urefu wa kunguni, unafika mita ngapi?

Mgeni akitokea, apatane na mwenyeji
Pengine amepotea, tariki ‘kienda jiji
Dira anayopokea, ni yale hayahitaji
Na urefu wa kunguni, unafika mita ngapi?

SITAKI MIKOGO YAKO

SITAKI MIKOGO YAKO

Nachoka kuvumilia, na kwenu sifiki tena
Sakafu yenye zulia, pale kwangu mimi sina
Kile unacholilia, sitapata cha thamana
Sitaki yako mikogo, na kwetu twala mihogo.

Kwetu sisi wala tope, jikoni palala paka
Nawewe pakamapepe, nyumba kubwa umetoka
Mie kwako kijikupe, ‘meamua kuondoka
 Sitaki yako mikogo, na kwetu twala mihogo.

Pete yako yanibana

Si kwamba nakuchukiya, kuna kitu chanisibu
Umekuwa haramiya, menifanya niwe bubu
Wanishuku nina yahya, na mengine ya aibu
Pete yako yanibana, ni kheri nikutaliki.

Funda chungu nalimeza, na chozi lakundodoka
Bezo zako sitaeza, umezidisha mahoka
Katu sioni mwangaza, yalo mbele ni mizuka
Pete yako yanibana, ni kheri nikutaliki.
