salamu nawaamkua, nidhamu naashiria, limesumbua hii, wazee na watoto pia, siwezi kukaa kimya, kuficha zaidi chilling, lazima kufungua kinywa, Sijali atae akanuna, nidhamu niufahamu, naikikosekana ni sumu, salamu matusi ni kufanywa , nawasii wewe ni binadamu,

Hello! The Mystery Machine has come to review. Well... Attempt to review. I don't know this language so I'm so sorry if I get the meaning wrong.

What Google told me:
greetings nawaamkua, discipline naashiria, this limesumbua, elderly and children as well, I can not remain silent, to hide more chilling, you must open the mouth, I do not care atae he scowled, discipline niufahamu, naikikosekana is formed, verbal greetings are made, nawasii you are human.


What I got from it: The speaker is addressing everyone before him in a speech, or perhaps all citizens in a letter of some sort. Is he saying how we mustn't be silent? How we must share our feelings? Or maybe he's talking about how greetings are made passively every day, how real conversations should be formed.

Okay so I probably didn't get anything right, but hey, we all get something different from literature!

From what the other comment says, this poem is short and beautiful.
I don't TRULY trust google translate (or any other translator for that matter.) But I like it.
I especially LOVE what the title translates to. I love how you took the time to write this in the natural language. And didn't give the meaning to us, but let us look it up and find out for ourselves. Something about that fact itself is fantastic! All together, I love this.

Good Luck To You!

Swahili work here?

I curiously translated this through google. And that's what goggle showed me!

The title of the work translates as Discipline is Personality

I'm sorry if this review didn't help, but that's all I could decipher from from work.



I'm tired of books having villains who are just villains for no reason.
