Siku hizi sijui kama wanavisoma tena hivi vitabu

He said,
what is africa
to me?
Blackness,
deep, deep fathomless
darkness;
africa,
idle giant
basking in the sun,
sleeping, snoring,
twitching in dreams;
diseased with a chronic illness,
choking with black ignorance,
chained to the rock
of poverty,
and yet laughing,
always laughing and dancing,
the chains on his legs
jangling;
displaying his white teeth
in bright pink gum,
loose white teeth
that cannot bite,
joking, giggling, dancing....
Stuck in the stagnant mud
of superstitions,
frightened by the spirits
of the bush, the stream,
the rock,
scared of corpses. . .
He hears eerie noises
from the lakeside
and from the mountain top,
sees snakes
in the whirlwind
and at both ends
of the rainbow;
the caves house his gods
or he carries them
on his head
or on his shoulder
as he roams the wilderness,
led by his cattle,
or following the spoor
of the elephant
that he has speared
but could not kill;
child,
lover of toys,
look at his toy weapons,
his utensils, his hut....
Toy garden, toy chickens,
toy cattle,
toy children. . .
Timid,
unadventurous,
scared of the unbeaten track,
unweaned,
clinging to mother's milkless breasts
clinging to brother,
to uncle, to clan,
to tribe
to blackness,
to africa,
africa
this rich granary
of taboos, customs,
traditions. . . .
Mother, mother,
why,
why was i born
black?
enzi hizoo, kumbukumbu wadau
f born.
<br />

Kingine kinaitwa I will Marry When I want.
Lakini hizi ni novel na plays za adavance,
Song of lawino bado kiko O level.
<br />iyo title huwa naikubali saaaaaaana
<br />Mkuu tatizo kwa sasa sijui kama wanavisoma kama kile cha Okonkwo sikumbuki title yake <br />
na kile cha mmasai na elimu
<br />
<br />
cha okonkwo kilikuwa kinaitwa Things fall Apart
Mmasai na elimu/lerionka kinaitwa Is it Possible?
<br />We kweli una kumbukumbu <br />
Mi sasa hivi nawaza sijui mabook gani nilisoma chuo na wapi huko na hapa kila siku lazima nipitie makaratasi kila siku hata huo uwezo wa kukumbuka sinao tena<br />
Safi sana mkuu <br />
Thing falls Apart like the situation we have now
<br />
<br />
Idea ya Mmasai inauliza if it is possible For a mmasai to hold book on left handside, stick at right hand side while his ears look forward at cattle. Is it possible.
<br />
<br />
hahahahahaaaaa!! Mr. Rocky bhana, unanipa raha balaa. Huyo ni Ocol wa Lawino.
<br />kijana kavunja kwel kwel kanikumbusha zaman kweli kwel, nakumbuka mdomo wa lawino ukiwa na mke anamdomo mrefu ka wake mhhh ingawa alikua na logic ila mmmh
<br />Ukiangalia lengo la vile vitabu walikuwa wanafocus mbali sana wale watu na sio ile idea ya ukweli ya mmasai kushika fimbo on one side and book on the other hand and straight akiangalia cattle . Walikuwa na mengi sana ya kutufundisha ila ndo hivyo watu wamesoma kama hadithi na kuacha hapo hapo
<br />
<br />
Kabisa, do you think it is possible for a student today to learn effectively while engaging him/herself into prostitution, smorking, drinking etc?
