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.

March


The heat of the sun
has intensified more than ever
burning the sweat off the brow
of the people

Mother Nature has dried
leaving the air filthy and clogged
in fear of wasting
its precious fresh air just yet

Cockroaches, rodents, ants
have all retreated from the wild
underneath the shelter of homes
they can smell the bones of meat coming
soon.

The wild, wilder and wildest
of all animals shade themselves
from the openness of human eyes
for eyes have never held sharper
daggers.

Nature does not understand
therefore it cannot forsee
if the dance, drink and defiance
shall overcome diverse discrimination

Two clouds are cast
over a hut where
on one side- the darker cloud- burns to ashes
on the other- the white cloud- grows ripe fruits

The darker cloud is growing deviously
burning more and more of the fruits
taking the children, parents and vermin
to the ash

God the white cloud ties to fight of
his retired angel of the light- the angel of darkness
but to no avail, God is laughed at
by those he loves dearly

Mother Nature, Mother Earth
holds back her tears in effort
to wait to wash away the bloodshed
that shall seep into the soil


What only surprises me is that the cockroach
instead of us realises the path we may be willing
to take and disappoint once more
The Ides of March is not far but Brutus will not wait to betray
Caesar come the beginning of March;
We Brutus the people will betray once again our Africa
