S06 E04modern Language Effects

Clemo

It has become a village
All in an effort to fuse into one
Stoking their fire so it burns brighter
Ours is just embers
As you utter 'La mere de ton ami est ta mere aussi'
Does 'Mayo wa myao nawe mmayoho' make sense to you?

Lynn

They have abandoned their culture
Speaking with tongues Gikuyu and Mumbi knoweth not
They call it westernisation
Or should it be formal education
Corrupted morals with twisted tongues
They have become a slave of their own knowledge.

Allan

Borrowed tongue,
Sharp like a sword without a handle,
Weapon and armor,
Immeasurable dis(advantage)

Ruth

Modernity
Has just come with some sort of insanity
Well westernization
And culture integration
Has brought us together
Different languages
Variety in all aspects
Appreciate it
But still don't forget your roots

Stumah
They clapped at the end
Made him boast to friends
About his prowess to impress
And the power in his words
They never understood what he said though,
He spoke in a new tongue
He was a foreign native.
