Stone of philosophers, ruby red stone,
which caused so much sacrifice and misery unknown.
Deceptively though, the stone did appeal
and made foolish men think its happiness real.
O wise philosopher wewe must grieve no more
if wewe wish to revive the mirth of before.
wewe must face your past, for wewe cannot atone
for the damage wewe wrought with the wretched red stone.
Where is the land? That land from the past,
which many before wewe sought and amassed?
Take heed of their folly, and don't be deceived
kwa the trap which left many despaired and bereaved.
Though for happiness, power and ease they did strive,
instead they found death and now none are alive.
Consider these perished; this warning adhere.
Will wewe continue to seek out this stone you held dear?
wewe who beheld it’s baneful hue red
when the blood of your own arm and own leg was shed?
Stone of philosophers, ruby red stone.
When will wewe cease and leave mankind alone?

When he suffers the consequences and loses everything he holds dear, she will give all she has to offer.
When he can't stand on his own, she will teach him how to walk again.
When he burns down the past in the name of making a future, she will salvage the memories worth keeping.
When he has no nyumbani and no light to pierce the darkness, she will provide hers.
When he leaves, she will wait for his return.
When he wavers, she will hold him steady.
When he struggles with demons, she will fight with him.
When he won't listen to reason, she will knock some sense into him.
When he breaks, she will fix it and forge it stronger.
When he refuses to cry, she will wash his pain in her own tears.
When he cannot upendo himself, she will.
And when he finally conquers the odds, she will be there to say:
"Idiot. Welcome home."
