Chumba Cha Juu Poem by Joshua Tesha

ukubwa umbali wake
salama kiko mbali
napenda mlango wake
umegeukia mashariki
ndivyo walivyo wazee
hupenda kutenda haki
yamkini wangejua
bora kiwe mbali

kimezingilwa na mitete
uzio wake vimti
jua upitisha miale
mlango wake niwazi
sauti za wanawake
unikatisha kazi
yamkini wangejua
bora kiwe karibu

asubuhi nala mikate
jioni wali samaki
naziepuka kande
tabu hazizoeleki
najibana hata itokee
usiku mimi sitoki
yamkini wangujua
bora kiwe karibu

furaha kwenye sherehe
ukiendesha hawasikii
akija yule mzee
aendaye hato riziki
huto sikia kelele
basi huko hakutoshiki
yamkini wangejua
bora kiwe karibu
