if you see omorosa the circumciser...

tell him i said hey. last night there was this tribal chauvinist over on a sister forum who kept hounding me about circumcision.

i was so impressed so i decided to compose a song in his tribute. for some reason, he fled so i am just posting it here hoping that since he is so keen on upholding gikuyu traditions even on kenyans from other cultural backgrounds, that perhaps he does stop by here from time to time. actually, i have two songs/poems for him. here is the first one:


wacha tumuimbie huyu juha
ajiitae omorosa

omorosa kajirusha moja kwa moja
ukumbini na ujinga wa mwanakijiji
mkabila mshamba fala wa mwisho
omorosa anafikiria na rasa
sidhani ashawahi kupitia darasa
kujifundisha adili na desturi za kistaarabu

juha yuadhani bado yuko gichagini mashambani
yuadhani bado twaishi katika enzi za manjiri,
tene, agu, cuma ama ciira
utadhani jina lake ni mathathi, ndemi ama iregi

hakuna haja kupoteza wakati na butweze, pimbi ama ngiri
nakomea nikimkemea hivi:

ciunagwo rukomo, kimenyi akamenya ikiunwo
gukungagwo utuku ti muthenya
gutema na kanua ti gutema na rihiu
arume mari rwamba
cionje ikumi irugitwo ni umwe uri na hinya
gakunywo kagira thooko
giikaro kimwe kiri ngee kana ndaa
