(Swans - January 29, 2007)  
'humani nil a me alienum puto'
there is nothing kind about human—
et ex summo:
Muraika munjereri ni ajaraire ta riuwa
Niwe ucio Orathete ta njata ya kiwarie (1)

['humani nil a me alienum puto'
there is nothing kind about human—
and from above:
My visiting angel has shone on me, sun
she is rising up in the sky, shining star]
