The Yellow Day
We are ready with yellow costume.
It will be on Tuesday 13/9,
The day rivals wanted not to dawn.
But, God is who?
This is the day for wheelbarrows,
It is the day for boda boda,
It is the day for mama mboga,
All to show their power.
They are ready with yellow costume.
The yellow day is here,
We shall worship, "Asikiaye maombi",
We must sing, "Mkono wa Bwana",
And climax it with, "Hatupangwingwi".
We are ready with yellow costume!
Will the haters of these songs join us?
Are they ready with yellow costume?
That is not our business.
Ours is to ululate in celebration.
Because yellow day is ours!
Yellow day is here,
It doesn't have meaning in high places,
It is an awful day in palaces,
But, Mtu wa Chini is proud of it.
He is ready with yellow costume.
Yellow day is not like any other day,
Though a national holiday it's not like any other,
It is a day of freedom,
Freedom from systems, deep state and families.
Are you ready with yellow costume?
Yellow day is like Martin Luther King Jnr dream,
It speaks to every child,
It ignites hopes and dreams,
Dreams and hopes of possibility.
Are you ready with yellow costume?
Yellow day and resurrection day are identical twins,
Going forward there is hope.
There is life.
There is healing.
