Ruyari ronene rwa vandu vahevwa na Nyasaye ni rimoroma. Zinyamanyama ziadaka ruyari rweniru. Zing'ombe zianaa, zimbwa zirokaa, zidaywa ziraguraa, zingoko zikegeteraa ne manyonyi gizanzanzara. Kari nigatevee sizinyara komoroma, zinyamanyama yizi mazimanyia cha zienyaa, niva nivurwaye, inzara noho risangara.
Navuzwa vandu vaveye nuruyari rwo komoroma. Umunwa nururimi ivio vivero vio komoroma. Kandi nivio viukunyanya. Kandi nivio viokoheranira nigava muru gahani.  Na mundu anyara kuturiza mioyo rugano na rugano. Vuri mundu aveye nu mwoyo gwigwe, varara miritu na vandi ming'erere. Vandi vamoromeraa hasi na vandi iguru nang'ana vahanzukaa.

Rwa mundu ativuraa mang'ana avezaa nasuviraa garahera nangani gazizaa kwumbaka inditi mu vandi vamanyaa vagirung'ana agavoye ura. Uranyora vandu nivasemana, varembana, varamana, vikanana,  visuhana na gandi gosi gikivihiri. Yago gosi ni ritumikira vunyari vwo komoroma vudamanu.
Mundu sigenyaa anyaguririrange mwimoroma mba. Genyaa ahuririzi mang'ana, anyanye mu kunangwa adore rogendo rwu kutivura. Rwu mundu avezaa nuvutima yaga gamaa gamuvita oyo yinaza murirakava. Na mang'ana gajira namaseno. Mundu natashioye ku madiva gaavoye gamaa gekoreka.
Rigosana rinyingi rituraa kurimoroma. Niwari omorome vugasu, ovoraa zimbemba. Niwari wehozerizi uhuriraa ga mbeto. Niwari uchiring'ane onyora mundu akutindii. Yaga gosi nerimoroma.
