Yet another fifth year our memo calls us to speak See how they dance under a canopy...

I Am Still Remaining

In Support of a Kenyan Teacher
In this land we had a President teacher So was our nice neighbour next door A fertile ground to hold holy such a duty An easy guess : respect was far more important Than what we thought of compensation for labour That renders throats dry sniffing chalk dust Only moon will tell when will settle the chalk dust A sunset ago, a...
