Poem by Leornard Phiri from Mpondas CDSS CFT Club
Mpikisano woyenera pa malonda
Ndi m’nasi wakutsina phirikanilo
Wakuolotsa mbuna wakukonda
Tisawonjere deya mudiwa
Khani yalunjika pa malonda anuwo
Kaya ndinu ogulitsa ma sweet,
zimbwyende ndi mandasi
Musayese zida poti gulitsa malonda anu
Omwe anapanga expire
Mpikisano oyenera pa malonda
Tigulitseni zinthu zoyenera pa malonda
Mu nthawi yake
Chiyipira wachaje amake amati ndi mwana
Malonda anuwo musawaonele mubotolo
Mandasi, zigumu ndi ukadya ubwelele
Zomwezi lina tsiku mukafusa mtengo
Wa tayala la sienta
