Who am I? What is this blog about?

Dear reader,

My name is Arnold Sanginga. I am Congolese, study at a High-school in Nairobi, Kenya and love to write.

The intention of this blog is to let people know of my writing and hopefully one day be recognised by someone with hope of taking me further into a writing career. I write on just about anything that comes to mind, mostly emotional poems, fictional stories based on issues that have occurred in Africa and opinions on African politics. Please do not be afraid to comment, as your comments will help me improve and encourage me.

Weakness


For most it is seen as failure
failure to reach perfection
failure to succeed
failure to never fear.

But how do I grow without
ever learning to become strong
How do we become brave
if we never started with fear

They use our weaknesses
as a weapon against us
when we do not know our weaknesses
are our strongest assests.

There is no growth without improvement
into looking inside our own souls
and make concrete what was once
a weak hole.

If we let our own kind manipulate our identity
they won’t be the ones to take
our very last breath-
we will.

Fir although the murderous leopard
does not lose its spots.
It certainly grows into a more
conniving, cunning and cold killer.

Times have changed
so have the methods within
our different communities
but the essential goal remains the same

Most of us
are instilled with the mindset
that for one to succeed
the other must be weak and fail

It is not so,
look at bean plant
which grows alongside bacteria
all in symbiosis.

A lesson we need to learn from mindless.
