I'm beautiful



I'm a beautiful family maker ,
I'm a beautiful home maker,
I'm a beautiful country maker ,
I'm a beautiful world maker ,
Through human minds and activities I die slowly
No one save or preserve me slowly
I'm a culture.

Through my belly great stories are born
Look now am here alive
How beautiful do I look in your eyes?
What joys do you have for me ?
I still exist in my all colors and beauty in Kakuma.

Preserve me like you do to your money
Preserve me like Elon musk spaceX research
Kakuma land of great stories,land of innovative people
Can you preserve me ,here I Kakuma for generation to come?

Without me life is meaningless,
Without me present of peace is useless
All religious can you practice me, black or white practice me.
When you do that every day will be a blessing day.

I'm a beautiful family maker
I'm a beautiful home maker
I'm a beautiful country maker
I'm a beautiful world maker
I live here and I live there
Through human minds and activities I die slowly
No  one save or preserve me slowly
I'm a culture.

That why am here today and that is why.
