BODA
When boda boda come police gone
Sands of time can't cover truths for ever
Who will drive the old lady home tonight
but boda boda
And her angels
Did they forsake her
For she no longer care
You couldn't not care
That's how you are not the same as her
She wishes not for rubies sapphires
For coloured stones or cold metal rings
But to draw one more day
From him
Simple this
And little this
Only in war will you know a friend
And only at the end
Will you know your love
Sands of time can't cover truths for ever
Who will drive the old lady home tonight
but boda boda
And her angels
Did they forsake her
For she no longer care
You couldn't not care
That's how you are not the same as her
She wishes not for rubies sapphires
For coloured stones or cold metal rings
But to draw one more day
From him
Simple this
And little this
Only in war will you know a friend
And only at the end
Will you know your love

Re. BODA
Three things cannot be long hidden: The sun, the moon, and the truth, my friend.
The sun, the moon, and the truth...
my heart feels yours in this.

Boda is Spanish for marriage
And boda-boda are the people's buses in downtown Nairobi

Dear whale, this is wonderfully expressed, taking me along in the crowded flow of heat and humanity!

Got under the skin since when the end approaches we're mostly left alone. Wonderful piece of truth, whale!
