Poem: Gĩkũyũ to kũaria tu (Kikuyu is more than just a spoken language )

This poem Gĩkũyũ to kũaria tu (Kikuyu is more than just a spoken language ) is part of a collection of 10 poems that I wrote themed around Indigenous people, culture, life, love, nature, and the advocacy for indigenous languages against cultural imperialism. The 10 poems were commissioned by The Joint Board of South and North Korea for the Compilation of Gyeoremal-Keunsajeon for the 2nd International Academic Forum on Sustainable Development of Indigenous Languages.
