Seeking the Chwezi

The deities are not in the lakes and forests
The deities are not in the clouds nor fires
The deities have entered the rocks and stones
And only by careful invocation and revelation
Shall we once more open the gates of stone
And set free into the air, water and fire
Those sleeping ancients, whose meditations, wisdom and magic
Are preserved with their regalia and art
In the rocks and caves of prehistory,
So that archeology is the foremost science of the seeker of the ancients
Seek and preserve thy rocks and stones.

Abachwezi tibali munyanja n'ebibira
Abachwezi tibali omumbeho ninga omumuro
Abachwezi bakataha omukibale n'amabale
Okwihaho abo abategekerwe, kandi baina orumanyo rwabu,
Nibo abarasobora okwata enyigi z'ekibale-
Aho nu, abachwezi baimuke omumbeho, omunyanja n'omumuro.
Abachwez'abo, abagonere namagezi g'ensi n'iguru,
Omumabale okurugira kimu Kibale paka omunyanja enu Nalubale-
Baserekerwe, kandi balinzirwe emyaka n'ebisibo kuruga okubanza.
Abachwezi Ndahura, Mulindwa na Wamara mbaimukize mukiro ekyange,
Na tunga okumanya okwembaganiza, nti esaha y'omulimo gwange ehikire.
Aho nu, naiywe mukwate engoma, mukwate ensekuro n'emisekuzo,
Mugende mwimukye abachwezi banyu, esaha yanyu etakarabire.

The Batembuzi

An ancient race arrived on this planet

 many eons ago,

They were visiting a stable planetary system

in search of divinity.

On this particular path, 

emerged a variant our natives would call Ruhanga.

Manifesting in areas of thick canopies and near mangroves,

they would easily bond with man

And this marriage would lead to the birth of the first civilization

of the Abatembuzi - our demi gods.

Harnessing any powers their ancestry code would allow them

This lineage soon became such a master of this floating rock

They would reproduce the ark in one place, and 

build colossal sun dials just to appease each other!

These were the great ones, from whom our great ancestors descended-

Our own divine race.

Carving marvels in stone, because 

their knowledge of the planet allowed them the luxury,

They were a very pragmatic people, ready

to bend time just to terminate a statement eminently.

Avoiding the evils of abusing energy, 

they adapted themselves to living in harmony with nature,

And were able to glimpse into great mysteries, and taste nature's bliss-

Those ancient, wise and primitive ancestors of ours.
