“He is coming back to us after many years away
We released him to you, young, vibrant and eloquent
But you’ve brought him back, an Old Man from Bondo, a
“mganga with a heavy tongue, defeated with eyes eternally
dripping tears, and empty-handed!
We gave him out as the best we could find around here,
one who had we known, we’d have kept around here to
look after our affairs.”
He was a good son, that Amollo you people mocked, was a
good son!
But see who you have brought us back!
Well, he is ours and we’ll build him a house by the shore!”

– Odhiambo Kaumah
