Life...

Lives in Malawi,
Yes, life is a lawi,
It matures with strong winds,
Like the winds you get in Mangochi,
Salima,
Monkeybay,
Nkhotakota.
And all others who know Mwera mphepo.

Life lives in the winds,
And speaks through the trees,
Sings in the Savanna grass,
And mourns with the dead.
Life means fish,
The great Trapia Fish,
Get a taste please.

No, life is Richard Chirombo,
It lives in Richard Chirombo,
It is Richard Chirombo,
I mean his soul,
Not Chirombo.
Harmless Rombo.

Just crazy,
About life's brade,
Always lazy,
Crazy,
Hazy.
It's a chase, life,
Nothing More,
Like Chess,
No less,
Like love.

Evocative lines!
