Jingizu
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
Jingizu, The Sword of Sorrow
Wrought in a twisted mind
Forged in the grim dark
In the depths of the black mountains
Iron from the pits of doom
Heated in the furnace of hell
Shaped on the anvil of death
By the blacksmith souls of the damned
Its scabbard the tombs of suffering
Its pommel the gems of evil
Its glitter a flash of malevolence
Its slash a strike of pestilence
Jingizu, the harbinger of death
Jingizu, the pennant of evil
Jingizu, the doom of souls
Jingizu, sorrow…so much sorrow!
