Why the mangrove tree roots grow above ground for the Kimeti to live on...
Roots of the mangrove...
Gather close, backs to the storm,
Listen to this tale,
When our Mother saved us all,
From water and strong gale.
Ere' this story stakes a place,
On a night much like our own,
As violent thunder shook the sky,
And made its presence known.
Now Kimeti, please take care,
The shores began to rise,
And those before us quickly knew,
The flood would touch the skies.
Now is when our Mother acted,
Drawing up the trees,
And this is why our homes reside,
With roots touched by the breeze.
