What do wewe want from me?
A tortured body?
A broken soul?
What do wewe expect to happen?
As wewe kick me down
As wewe rip me apart
Tell Me!!!!!!!!!!
What do wewe want to happen?
As I close my eyes
And take my last breath
I alisema I would stay
Till I took my last moment
But now I'm leaving
A victim no more
I lived with your love
The upendo wewe showed with your fist
I died because of that love
Your upendo was only Hate
Now someone else will take my place
Will live with your kind of love
Now someone else will receive your lies
Will know your treachery
What did I expect?
That you'd change?
That you'd learn to love?
What did I ever see in you?
That I ignored my needs
As I made excuses for you
Why Me!?!?!?!?
Why did wewe choose me?
When there were others zaidi accessible?
When I did nothing wrong?
How could wewe do it?
When I begged for wewe to stop?
When it became so unbearable that I passed out?
Why did I let it happen?
When I knew I deserved better?
When I knew nothing would change?
This unending cycle
Was all wewe ever knew
Is all you'll ever have
'Cause no one wants an abuser
No one wants a murderer
No one loves a cheat
wewe may have my life
But you'll never take another
So as I leave this world
I just have one question...
Was it all worth it?
A tortured body?
A broken soul?
What do wewe expect to happen?
As wewe kick me down
As wewe rip me apart
Tell Me!!!!!!!!!!
What do wewe want to happen?
As I close my eyes
And take my last breath

It’s the color of you
wewe always wore it
It’s the color we shared
As we hid from them
With it we showed our true selves,
Though no one cared
Our machungwa, chungwa book bags
Were our shields from some of the pain
We protected each other
But it wasn’t enough
We were like two machungwa, chungwa crayons
When everyone else was green
Then wewe left me alone,
All I had was our color orange
As they hit me
I took peace in knowing
wewe were in the machungwa, chungwa field in the sky
wewe always alisema was there.
The machungwa, chungwa of the sun set
Is your smile
Even though wewe left too soon
Orange…
Now it’s my color
My way of remembering you
Now I am the lone machungwa, chungwa in the rainbow
Without wewe here
I protect my own
Though I wish wewe were here
Now machungwa, chungwa is my color
A color for your bravery
A color for my survival
machungwa, chungwa will forever be our color
Even though death took wewe away
Forever machungwa, chungwa for you,
Sweet Cassidy.

Violently, the ground shook,
As the mountain exhaled black smoke.
Overwhelmed, they ran for cover,
Those left began to choke.
Cherished, were the possessions left behind,
Melted and scattered as ash.
Beloved, the children lost,
They couldn’t make a mwepesi, teleka dash.
Darkened, the cloudy heavens above,
Black clouds fell from the sky.
Covered, the people escaping,
With no way out they began to die.
Lost, the souls of the trapped,
A snatched half-chance at life.
Fallen is Pompeii;
Civilisation, upendo and it’s people’s cries.

Overwhelmed, they ran for cover,
