The Tree That Saw...

[Mzee Mwanakijiji]

I saw blood
Face broken, bones shattered
Teeth plucked out, nails broken
His skin swollen, his dignity stolen
I saw it, I saw it all and I will not remain silent again!

I saw fear
Hands shaking, hair falling
Feet trembling like leaves dropping
Lips stuttering, tongue twisting
I saw it, I saw it all and I will not remain silent again!

I saw evil
Voices shouting, sometimes whispering
Hands carrying a person dying
Still gripping, blood dripping
I saw it, I saw it all and I will not remain silent again!

I saw courage
The men leaving, the man dying
Alone struggling, and then standing
His body anguishing, in darkness crying
I saw it, I saw it all and I will not remain silent again!

I saw a dream
Hope rising, fear departing
Like fog vanishing like smoke lifting
And he was walking, his steps counting
I saw it, I saw it all and I will not remain silent again!

I saw change
People screaming, sound ringing
The forest refusing, to take a man dying
The road whispering, promising healing
I saw it, I saw it all, and I will not remain silent again!

I am a witness of change
I am a defender of dignity
I am a guardian of truth
I am a protector of my brother
You don't know me; I know you
You don't care for me; I do for you
You don't even remember me, I always remember you
I am that tree that
SAW IT ALL!
And I refused to remain silent today.

Job 14:7a "For there is hope for a tree, If they thought it is cut down, it has sprouted again Genesis 2:9 for Jehovah God causeth to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil; Job 14:7b And that the tender branch of it will not cease. Now Isaiah 4:2 In these days there shall be a sprout of Jehovah for beauty and glory, and the fruit of the earth for excellency and for ornament for those that are escaped of Tanzania. Luke 21:30 when they already sprout, ye know of your own selves, on looking at them, that already the summer is near!

Proverbs 23:5 Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.

Says the Lord of host the mighty one of Tanzania!
