Oh Lilongwe, such a long way
from my valleys my alleyways
from the subways
Mancunian way
From Mancunian ways
of life
of strife
Recall London along the way?
meeting with Sway
less than a day
before being swept away
from my bien aimee
(Ne) Mayday... pas
I’m yet to have my great heyday
even if so distant it is
that I Oh! stray
But stay with me
and we shall be
the swarm and bee
which fertilise with glee
the knots and ties aplenty
of a soul craving to flee
to new terrains sunny
to new landscapes so free
Riverside Hotel Rm17, Lilongwe 8/2/10
