Saida's Poem: Trees

TREES

by Saida Mohamed

Saida is my daughter. She goes to the Aga Khan Junior Academy in Nairobi. She is involved in her class Grade 1 A Celebration of Class Party because they are about to be promoted to Grade 2.  She did well this year, in spite of various events!

There is much I could say about her but I shall leave her poem to speak for her today, instead.

I like trees

 The trees have bees

 The trees are tall

 Just like a mall

 Trees have roots 

But not boots

Roadmap to World War III

What went wrong?  Blair continues to deny responsibility for his and Bush's share in the destruction of Iraq (for the sake of oil).  He'll probably say the same about Libya. Will Blair be decorated for courage and wisdom and leadership or will he fade away and simply die of Alzheimers?  Will Iran cross the border to Iraq?  What will happen if the dynamics change?  Would the countries sponsoring the ISIS/ ISIL warlords with weapons be under threat?  Remember Iran is the consummate war planner and has proximity to the cultures, the geography, the languages and the heart of the region.  Would Iran be caught on two fronts, opening a tentative window of boldness from Israel?  Or will this give Iran the opportunity to annex a part of Iraq and demonstrate leadership by stitching up the Syria/ Iraq border?  Look at the number of countries in the region and the map.  What will Russia be thinking?  China?

How does all this affect Kenya?  I will attempt to link up the questions with the answers right here but I'll post this immediately because it is of interest to my readers.

What other words evoke the women and men involved in the trade of fulfilling the carnal fantasies of those who will purchase them?

The news still is that women who are on the lower rungs of socio-economic ladder - whatever their occupation, are working in the dark without oxygen while having to carry responsibilities that all women are carrying.

A good place (courtesy David Kuria Mbote and contribtors to the KPTJ* site) to start thinking about raising one's own awareness on vulnerable women who are also empowering themselves:

For areas of life where people are suffering, everyone of us is responsible (ie you and I, included, Ashif) .  Where people who are fighting to survive against forces of neglect are making choices for themselves based on their own experiences and environment, they have to be supported.  By you and me.  Without this support to one deeply neglected sector of humanity there can be NO progress.  I believe that we are individually and as a whole affected by the state of our environment of which all human beings, especially the one's being pretended out of the picture are integrally a part.  A major obstacle to restoring security to those who are not being seen by those in power, except as object of abuse, is the self-deluding way in which we are being taught to define the meaning of the word, 'environment'.  But what does it really include, this word?

Whatever problems beleaguer our lives are conditioned by the approach the 1% takes towards the 99% of the population.

MCAs and all these other institutions offer poor evidence for proper direction.  Well, in terms of the real world and the direction in which it is supposed to go, today MCAs are simply irrelevant.

Now that the THIRD WORLD WAR may well have gotten well under way... what a mess.

Food matters

Someone on Linked In Warned that Asians consume exotic foods without fear and one ot them is dog meat.

Ha ha!  Indeed!  Reminds me of the Highridge restaurant I went to where on the vegetarian menu they listed chicken which, for vegetarians, is indeed an exotic vegetable but they do indulge remorselessly - no fear (and, don't forget before you leave for China some (maybe not all) Chinese serve delicious fried chicken's feet to people they respect highly, so be ready, if you do not consider chicken exotic....). 

Animal, vegetable or...  mineral?

I believe locusts are considered mineral, by the way, because they consume plants which grow on the mineral content of the soils....

Molin ana lia

Brenda aka pata bahati mbaya.  Nyumba yake ya mabati ili haribishwa no moto.  Kuna watu ambaye ana jenga gorofa hapo juu kidogo na wame anzia ku piga kilele.  Wana taka kukata the slum into two kutengenza barabara.  Brenda alikuwa nalia wki ya jana.

Brenda ame anzia kukuja kufanya mamangu kazi kidogodogo. Akpatiwa na mama elfu moja baridi kabisa kuenda slum kutafuta mayai.  Brenda haku rudi. "Basi kama ha ta rudi ni kata machahara yako, Molina!"  Molina aka anzia ku lia.

Brenda ali rudi kuchelewa, lakini.  Mvua ilikua ina nyesha.

Mama Saida aka cheka kweli kutokana wakati mawingo ali anzia kugatha.

Mamangu hajui makosa yake.  Anazeeka polepole na piga kilele au kusirika saana.

Molin ana cheka sasa.

Poa.
