KIVILA NEVER DIE " MEMORIAL POEM"

As kivila 

was almost disappearing in Uvila central, 

One of the sons of Lembwe 

who's called Mapendano Mukevi, 

Well known by his stage name  

Of " Mule"

Who said one day

 " No and no again, 

Kivila will never die while I am living.

 I will never witness the death

Of my mother tongue on this planet Earth. 

No language will swallow kivila.

 I wish to become

 a bavila library 

and museum through 

my Arts."

 He composed some songs in kivila

 As a big call 

to some bavila

 who thought the mother tongues of other folks were better than theirs. 

He sensibilized some young Bavila  

to join him to fulfil his vision. 

They could sing and dance

culturally 

 To portray their culture 

wide Worldly. 

Later on, 

there were some bavila musical 

orchestra groups " Kyalalo and Tanganika Muzika" 

which were founded following his steps. 

He is one of the promoters of the Bavira musical rhythm 

and dance

 known as "Makina Kalanzi" 

When God called Mapendano Mukevi

many bavila cried 

to lose him 

And wished

 him to rest in peace.
