LuLu

Lulu has changed

 She is no longer the girl I knew

Grown into a beautiful woman

 Still she flirting with me

I won’t deny that

 She flirting with every young and old

Resident of the city

That makes her filth right?

Why can’t she be loyal to just one?

She has became foreign to me

Her hostility is showing too

Picking up foreign traits

My Lulu

Mama still says you’re the pride of her

Though you’re now like an outcast

Among your sisters and brother

Sometimes they envy you

And I know then that

They too will end up like you

But my wish for them

Is never to forget Mama’s teaching

Wishing they grow up not with

Some of your traits

Who did you took after

Mother, Father? Foreign men you have been

Involved with

Lulu I love your flashlights lights

Fast life

But it’s sad that these are the same things

That are, turning your children to dust and

Your beauty to ashes

What ill you have left

When everything has turned to dust

Cause’ nothing last forever

Lulu lulu!

Can you her me calling

You’re moving too fast

Swinging your bokosi as you walk

Making you the envy

Among your peers

Your daughters too are the envy

Of the land Africa

My Lusaka, Zambia as you develop

Please remember them African ways

Zambian way of living
