Tsiku lina mtsikana wamng’ono m’kalasi anafikira aphunzitsi ake ndi kuwanong’oneza ngati mwachinsinsi, “Mphunzitsi, kodi nkhondo inali chiyani? Mphunzitsi wake anausa moyo, nayankha, “Ndikuuzani
nthano, koma ndiyenera kukuchenjezani kaye kuti sichoncho
mudzazindikira nthano; ndi nthano ya akulu -
Awa ndi funso, ndiwe yankho - Kamodzi… "
Iye anati, kamodzi pa nthawi…
panali dziko limene linali pankhondo nthawi zonse
- ola lililonse la tsiku lililonse pachaka -
idalemekeza nkhondo ndi kunyalanyaza omwe adamwalira;
Adalenga adani ake, ndipo adawapha ndi bodza.
inazunza ndi kupha ndi kupha ndi kulira
ku dziko la zosowa za chitetezo, ufulu ndi mtendere
amene anabisa bwino umbombo umene umapangitsa phindu kuwonjezeka.
Zopeka ndi zongopeka, inde, koma taganizirani ngati mungathe,
ndipo lingaliraninso anthu okhala m’dziko lopeka limenelo.
iwo amene anaseka ndi maphwando ndipo anali ofunda ndi okhuta bwino;
amene anakwatira okondedwa awo ndipo anali ndi ana omwe amawatsogolera
miyoyo ya mfulu m'nyumba za olimba mtima odzazidwa ndi ma twitter
ndi ma tweets komanso kulira kwanthawi zina kwa otsutsa osangalala,
banja lonse limasewera mochenjera nthano,
dziko lenileni lodzipangitsa kukhulupirira momwe palibe aliyense, konse
kamodzi pa tsiku lililonse, anayesetsa kuthetsa nkhondozo
zomwe zinapangitsa dziko lawo kukhala dziko lomwe limakhala pankhondo nthawi zonse.
Tangoganiziraninso adani amene anaphulitsidwa ndi mabomba
ndipo anamizidwa, kukokera mu misewu ndi kuwombera, awo
amene mabanja awo anaonongeka, ana aamuna akuyang'anira
makolo awo anapha, ana aakazi amene anaona amayi awo
anaphwanyidwa, makolo amene anamira pansi ngati awo
miyoyo ya ana idanyowetsa nthaka yomwe adagwadapo;
iwo amene adzakhala mdani wa dziko kosatha
zomwe zinali pankhondo nthawi zonse, omwe amadana mpaka kalekale
dziko limene nthawi zonse linali pa nkhondo, ndi kudana ndi anthu ake.
Ndipo kotero dziko linagawanika: theka lina kusamba mosangalala
mabodza, theka limodzi ladzala ndi mwazi; Magawo awiri nthawi zambiri amodzi,
osazindikirika kwa akufa, osalabadira opunduka;
dziko limodzi lalikulu latsoka, la ma IED, la mikono ndi miyendo,
bokosi la maliro ndi maliro, amuna akulira, akazi ovala zakuda,
nyenyezi zagolide, nyenyezi zabuluu, nyenyezi ndi mikwingwirima, zakuda ndi zofiira,
mitundu ya anarchist, yobiriwira ndi yoyera,
kudedwa ndi kudedwa, kuopedwa ndi kuopsedwa, kuopsa.
Iye anati, kamodzi pa nthawi…
kapena mawu otero, mawu akulu kwa makutu akuluakulu,
ndipo mwanayo anati, “Mphunzitsi, sindikumvetsa,”
ndipo mphunzitsi anati, Ndikudziwa, ndipo ndakondwera. Ine
adzakutengerani ku phiri lonyezimira dzuwa usana
ndi kuwala usiku mu kuwala kwa mwezi. Kuwala nthawi zonse.
Ndi moyo. Kumeneko nyenyezi 6,000 zikuthwanima, 6,000
kukumbukira, zifukwa 6,000 zomwe nkhondo simuchita
kudziwa kuti ndi nkhondo zomwe sitidzakhala nazonso.
chifukwa mu nthano iyi, tsiku lina anthu adadzuka.
anthu analankhula, ndi dziko limene linalipo nthawi zonse
anali pankhondo tsopano anali pamtendere, ndipo mdani, ayi
kwenikweni bwenzi, sanalinso mdani, ndi pang'ono
ana sanamvetse, ndipo dziko linakondwera,”
ndipo mwanayo anapempha kuti, “Nditengere ku phiri ili.
Ndikufuna kuyenda pakati pa nyenyezi ndikusewera nazo
mumtendere.”
Kalekale - nthano,
loto la mphunzitsi, lumbiro la wolemba
kwa ana onse - sitingalephere
msungwana wamng'ono uyo - nthawi ndi ino.
