Kenya the LAND of splendor and mysteries OH I wish you would see kerenyaga the mountain of spender and mysteries Dedicated to NGAI MURUNGU the supreme creator..Land of freedom fighters field marshal and general.. kimathi. general mwariama are my heroes real life heroes not superman Kenyatta, Nyerere Nkuruma.. the pan African dream then hit the economic hit man and i was brought to- my dreams..western corporations have patent even.. kikuyu Grass now belonging to them... the kikoy my grandfather wore now its their patent our minerals and diamond the Cary from Congo then pay merceneries to keep the war alive.. Their media propagating a dark continent without hope..where people are diseased with a distended stomach... selling death **** To are people deluded that they are superior.. their leader a son of our soil... www . ya mumbi . com a resource for us you are welcome to learn the way of my GOD And our splendid culture and yes you will see the mountain i used to see as i walked to first grade without shoes..no that we couldn't afford but my neighbor... couldn't and am sensitive to less fortunate...

"Africa kills her sun" I love that poem. Did you too read African short stories in secondary school? You know, the one that had Ken Saro-wiwa and several other African writers?. Your poem is really good too.
