Sailing to no destiny

Sailing to no destiny

We see, we fuss at the ship campus

Sailing us to no destiny with these

Wailing bunches shading tears unconcillable.

This campus is here to see and be seen

Watching the disastrous film of catastrophe.

A tiring stare of raped seas

And earth-swallowed rivers

Ousted by failed fingers

Blocked with wattle that

Builds overwhelming castles.

This wagging {shakingly-unstable} image of murdered forests

Assassinated swamps, stubbed mountains

Frosting path of life-long mourning

Over her dead barren rocks.

Mills eat daily and vomit into these lifeless fields

They drink seas dry and fart into the sky

Where sound sanity is the whirl of famished pigeons

The radar, though, mastered none other

The art of gorging tongues and lips

And later spawn poison-spilling fangs

Puffing the venom of clanism, tribalism, ethnicity

Onward, penury’s plague pollutes this dull earth

While the sucking sadist suckles our withered self

And arise, yonder, the Song of Songs

The sad sob of this absurd nation.

KENYA ELECTIONS: The Outcome, the DNA of Uganda's Sustainability

As Kenya, East Africa's arguably best economy heads for presidential polls on tuesday, I find it imperative that I try to squeeze juice out of this sacred election. I know most of you, just like me, have so many rhetorical expectations from this mighty election, but most sacredly are the questions that preoccupy our minds as to how the political show down will go in our neighbourhood. Most importantly, everyone is asking himself the question: 'What does the Harambe election mean to us as a country?. As I allow you to ponder on the connotative underpinnings of this election unto us, allow me first delve us onto the historical perspective and its alliterative explanatory shaping of Kenya's politics. In 1895, Kenya became a Protectorate under the colonial york of the British. Just like it was in Uganda and many African countries in Africa, if not all, so was it in Kenya, that the master, accruing from the cartoon number of administrators on the continent and ...

THE BITTER, BETTER ON KENYA ELECTIONS

Tuesday 8, august 2017 was a big day in Kenya and indeed East Africa, as voters exercised their electoral democracy. Indeed, the whole of East Africa had its sights on Kenya, because the classical French saying, that:'when France sneezes, Europe catches a cold' does appeal to East Africa, for the latter is arguably East Africa's best Economy. But let us interest ourselves on a few bitter and better glimpses of this election and what we can learn from as a country. To begin with, I must accept that the Kenyatta government needs thumbs up for keeping the opposition alive. Kenyatta never even at one time did he interfere and trounce on the activities of the opposition, not withstanding their campaigns. It would sound ideal that that is what every government anywhere is ought to do, but ask yourself how many governments, especially in Africa observe such 'political hygiene'. Therefore, there he deserves a credit. It is also common place in African politics, that s...
