"UNTITLED"


My mama thinks that when i graduate i will do something great,
but my heart knows it has a little to expect,
because the system is fake
and nowadays a group of people can decide your fate,

how many people enjoy the national cake?
the diamonds, the gold
the wild in national parks and the fishes in the lakes,
the minority takes over the majority.... for God's sake!!!

how many benefit through the education we get?
the strikes, the poverty, the teacher's scarcity,
do we need something we really get?

i graduate, but im told i miss experience,
they say i lack the worker's quality,

to employ myself is the other option i take,
the taxes are so high and
the payments are so low,
how much profit will i make,

going out in the street people say i rob,
is it because i dont have a respectable job,
my soft mind sob, but my strong heart knows it
has to ease the mind and wipe the sob,

this system has developed some
channels in which water flows in it,
if u aint on the channel then,
you are on the opposite part of it,
 the part where people hustle, struggle and fight,
and its depending on seeing the fruits of it,

the part where people are forced to see success as a stranger,
so sometimes they pretend to be God's messenger...

is there truth in media anymore?
they transmit negative propaganda through what they show,
what will my kid know?
the fancy music in the redio,
have made us their victims,
and the fancy videos in the T.V's
have changed the system,

they will conquer every land but dont let them conquer your MIND,
they will go deep in every mine but never let you be undermined,

who trust the politicians anymore?,
Mr.politics you fight for my vote to lead me?
or bid me and lead my resources?
what you always do leave me with no choices,

how many care on if im concious and aware?
because many judge me on what i wear,
our eyes trust far lies,
but they fake the truth which its close,

to others will see they are right,
but the wise will know they need something right,

i hope my Mama willl understand what i say,
and she will prove this one day,
and when she ask me to say one word about what i said
i will tell her mama this poem is "UNTITLED"

"Ukweli Wetu"



         Walinishangaa nilipokua nasikitika walipokua wanajadili eti kama kungekua hakuna kifo kungekua na maisha tele, nikawauliza je vipi kama kungekua hakuna furaha mngekubali huzuni tele? Wakabaki wanashangaa. Ukweli ni kwamba hatuujui ukweli, hata kama tukiambiwa huu ndio ukweli bado tutauliza "ni kweli?”

         Ni kweli bila maisha kusingekua na kifo, vitu hivi vinashabihiana, ni sawa kukataa ya kwamba utajiri mwingi sio umasikini mwingi, wingi  kwa wingi, hata ujamaa ni kwa wajamaa wa jamaa.

         Tunapozungumzia Ukweli Wetu lazima tuugusie upendo wetu kwao, ukweli ni kwamba tuupende upendo kwakua tuna chuki, hatutaweza kuishi kwa upendo kama hatutoziondoa chuki zetu baina yetu. Huu ni ukweli wangu ambao utageuzwa kuwa uongo kama kuna chuki ndani ya msema ukweli.
 

         Malengo binafsi nayo huweza kuwa ya kweli kwa mtu binafsi, ila yaweza kua ya uongo kwa jamii, maamuzi madogo yanafanywa hadharani wakati maamuzi makubwa yanafanywa ndani chumbani. Ukweli wetu ni kwamba tunautambua uongo wenu, ila upendo wetu ndio unatufanya tuuamini kua ni ukweli, uongo ukirudiwa maranyingi hugeuka kua ukweli, huo ni uongo wetu ambao kwetu ni ukweli wenu.
 

          Ukimya wetu hauko kimya, tunaongea na nafsi zetu baina yetu, tunaongea kwa sauti ingawa kwenu ni kama tumenyamaza, sisi wakosefu wakudai haki yetu, wajeuri kwa kukataa uongo wenu. Maneno juu ya maneno ili kuvuruga maana halisi ya maneno. Uongo wao ni kwamba wameukubali ukweli wetu.
 

          Laa sitamani kujua ukweli wenu kwakua ni uongo kwetu, bora uongo wenu kwakua unatufanya tuone ukweli wetu, sauti zetu zenye busara na kauli zao zenye masihara. Wanaujua ukweli wetu kua tumekubali uongo wao, ukweli hubaki kua ukweli hata kama ukisemwa na mwongo, ila usiamini ukweli wa anayesema uongo, ni sawa na kukubali kua kipofu ni chongo mbili, au kukataa kua anaitwa bubu kwakua hasikii au haongei.

          Ukweli wetu ni kwamba msiongee uongo muda wote kama hamna kumbukumbu, kuna muda tunakubali kudanganywa na kuna muda hatukubali, eti bora kwa kila mmoja wakati msemaji mwenyewe sio bora. Tudanganye kwa muda ila sio kwa muda wote kwakua sio wote watakubali uongo wako.

          Unapovunja uaminifu haimanishi aliyekuamini ni mjinga, bali amekupa usichostahili "uaminifu wake kwako", sio kila anayekubali amekukubali, ila wengine wanakubali kwakua muda unaruhusu kukuamini kwa muda, ukienda juu kwa uongo utarudi tu chini kwa uongo, tazama alama za nyakati kwa wakati usije ukafka chini ukanza kuongea ukweli kua wewe sio mwongo, hata kwa hongo kipofu sio chongo wa macho mawili..Kumkichwa ni wewe!
