THIS YEAR 2013; IS THE YEAR OF GREAT DEATHS


Alexander K Opicho
(Eldoret, Kenya; aopicho@yahoo.com)


This year alone world society has lost more that ten great intellectual and political leaders. They have been lost to death in a deeply wounding manner. Human society has indeed been robbed. It is so sad. Three of the leaders have been Nobel laureates and the rest are leaders of intellectual, moral, political and spiritual stature in their respective capacities.
It began without any stampede in early part of the year some where March when Chinua Achebe, a Nigerian and Francis Davis Imbuga a Kenyan, both succumbed to early deaths caused by stroke. Rendering not only the citizens of world of literature, but also African society as well as global intellectual communities to the most desperate bereavement. Thereafter, within short while of the subsequent days, The Venezuelans president and Marxist intellectual, Hugo Chavez also succumbed to death caused by throat cancer. Even though the Pravda, the daily circulating paper of Russia contended that Chavez was poisoned; it is dismissible as only a Russian stand attributed to ideological hangover, because the Pravda also made similar allegations in relation to deaths of Yasser Arafat, Pablo Neruda and Frantz Omar Fanon, but it did not go a head to establish the factuality of this very allegations.
What we know is that human life is in most cases contested for by the three spiritual forces of fortune, fate and death. As decried William Shakespeare in his Romeo and Juliet. This time round in the year 2013, the angel of death has dominantly reigned with its untimely consequences in form of fangled early death of our leaders. Herman Melville will remain classical in his concern in the Moby **** about death that; O death! O death! Why are you untimely?  
Sadder is when the Al shabab terrorists killed the Ghanaian born global literary citizen Kofi Owonor. Kofi Owonor the poet and author of This world my brother was among the people killed in Nairobi during the terrorist attack at the Westgate mall. Of course he had come to Kenya to celebrate in literary festival organised by a society of publishers in Nairobi. This is an eventuality of some month ago. In September 2013, the Irish born literary Nobel prize poet; Heaney Seamus died. He died prematurely when the world society most needed his service to literature and his literary service to human society.
A couple of some weeks ago again the world loosed two prominent artists, political leaders, human rights crusaders and intellectuals. These are none other than Doris May Lessing and Tabuley Rosseuru. Lessing was a white African living in London, literature Nobel laureate and a feminist as well as an anti apartheid crusader. She is known for her firm stand against communist utopia, championing for the  courses against dehumanizing  human behaviors like racisms , but mostly Lessing is known for  her  great literary works like ;the grass is singing, Golden Note book, Dann and Mara as well as so many other works. Whereas Tabuley was an African Congolese , a musician , a businessman , once a husband to Africa’s most beautiful songstress Bellia Belle. He was the composer and the vocalist of African Rumba music. His song Bina Mudan which we in Africa always pronounce as Simbukinya was actually an artistic and cultural bombshell. Tabuley has been a politician, who enjoyed a gubernatorial position of the city of Kinshasa for ten years (two terms).
Most disastrous is the currently trial-some moment for the world community as they all commissarriate the death of Nelson Mandela.Mandella died early decemder 2013 at his home in the Johannesburg city of South Africa. The death of Mandela is an open sore to the society. It is a window for social, political, intellectual and family abyss in Africa. It is indeed a sad moment. But what can we do? For it has already happened. We can only swim in the consolation inherent the wisdom of the Babukusu people found in the western part of Kenya that; Mis-brewed wine behooves volunteer carousers. And truly, I have personally joined the world community to commit a poetical kamikaze in volunteering to drink this sour wine of humanity .May god give us and our leaders in their diverse capacities long live. Amen.
I can't breathe!
This wind of racism no more.
Not because my lungs are weak,
Not because my words can't speak,
Those painful scars on the backs of my ancestors
Or those scars of discrimination on my face
That is hidden from this world,
So the future me won't absorb
The pain of being black.
So those fake smiles
Written on my face,
With no judging spirit,
From your cracking skin,
Will last for another day.
The only difference between the day and the night
Is because of the light.
The only difference between you and me
Is the color of my skin.
Let go of the hate!
Let go of racism!
And embrace my skin!

I can't breathe!
This wind of racism no more.
I can't store those tears
Crying in silent for many years.
My bones need to fight
For all those souls buried in dust of silent
Because of your wicked thought,
Because of your burning flames of hate.

You're killing us like preys,
Silent our cries for justice,
With those same deceiving words,
Our ancestors,
Those great fighters,
Couldn't found in their dictionary covered with dust.
Love!
Peace!
Justice!
And Democracy,
I thought were the commandments
For Freedom.
I thought my skin was loved by you
Black don't crack,
I thought those words were true.

I can't breathe!
This wind of racisms no
For so long your justice system
Has rejected my calls.
They hang my emotions like used cloth,
Outside their windows
And asked my tears not to drop.
They took everything from me
Because of my skin
And told this busy world that am at fault.
That I drink too much!
That I first instructed my bullet
Out of my innocent gun!
That my skin was a host
For deadly diseases
That could take life out of their soul!
That my skin was a poisonous food for scavengers,
Not a meal that should be served
To strangers!

This justice system doesn't  know,
How much pain this black skin has installed.
This justice system doesn't  know,
How much scars of hate
That this black skin failed not to store.
All they know about me from history
Will decay with fossils
Of negative thoughts
Starting from today.
The only thing they will see,
Will be lite of smokes all over their cities.
The only thing their skin  will feel,
Will be hat of revenge from the sun.
No justice!
No peace!
Nothing at all!
But those same scars on my face,
I felt,
When the day welcome me and asked,
If I could store the pains?
If I could stay and fight for change?

I can't breathe!
This wind of racism no more.
That was created when you first saw my skin.
Even with stains of blood you caused,
Even if history reject to write your racist thoughts,
The sun will never stop to romance that same skin
You first saw.

I want justice for my skin,
To be free from scars of pain!
I want my skin to be seen
As black when the sun hide its face!
I want my skin not to be
The defendant of racisms or discrimination,
But to feel the breath
Of peace, love and freedom,
When  justice starts to speak!
Cause I want to breathe
Fresh wind of peace
So this black race
Will not stop with me!

Which Has Now CONFINED...

How People Express...
What’s Inside Their Heads...

I Mean What Will Be Next... ?!?

Cutting OFF Heads...
Because They’ve Caused OFFENCE... !?!?!

Well... Let Me INSPECT...
What Was Earlier Said...
Within THIS POEM... !!!

Censors In The Past...
Have ALWAYS Taken To Task...
Those Who’ve Used Their Art...

To Speak... FREELY...................
On Everything From The LGBT...

To YES... Queer Crews...
And Have QUICKLY Been Refused...
The Right To Sell Tunes...

That Were Deemed To Be RUDE...
And... HATE Filled Too... !!!

So These... Cancel Crews...
Are REALLY NOTHING NEW... !!!

But Now The Ante Has Gone UP... !!!
Just Like ******* AFTER *** Stunts... !!!

But There Is NO LOVE... !!!
If You... Speak of...

NOT WANTING To Fit...
In With Their... “ New Club “...

Kinda Sounds Like Stuff...
That Supremacists Run...

“If You’re NOT WITH Us,
We Will END YOU SON !

And This Has Come...
Right From The TOP... !!!

From Politicians To World Governments...
Who Have WITHDRAWN Funds...
In Countries Where... Some...

REFUSE To Accept...
What Was Once Expressed...

As Going AGAINST...
What Their BIBLE Said..
In It’s Religious Text...

Which Was That...

“ God Would Be VEX...
If Those of The SAME *** !
Dealt In ******...
And... NAUGHTINESS ! “

So What Came NEXT... ?!?

FIRE AND BRIMSTONE...!!!

And That Is NO JOKE... !!!

Due To CRIMES AGAINST NATURE... !!!
Well NOW... CENTURIES LATER... !!!

The Lord’s NO LONGER Our Saviour... ?!?
Cos We’ve Got A NEW FLAVOUR... !!!

That We MUST ACCEPT... !?!
And FORGO What Is Said...
In The Book That Expressed..

What’s Been Taught To CHILDREN...
Since... WAY BACK WHEN... !?!

So Things Have TURNED AROUND...
Because of CERTAIN CROWDS... !!!

Who Will NOT ACCEPT...
The Type of IGNORANCE...
That’s NOW OFFENDING THEM... !!!

Because Racisms DEAD...
And DOESN’T **** Blackness... !!!

Now I'm NO... GENIUS...
But That's Talk That Is CLEARLY...

................ INCORRECT................... !!!!!

But These Words Are FACT... !!!
I REALLY AIN’T About That... !!!!!!!!

Are Their Skins SO THIN... ?!?

That They DON'T Understand... ?!?
That There Will ALWAYS Be Chat...
That OFFENDS Their CLAN... !!!

Like The FACT That RACISTS...
Will... NEVER Like Blacks... !!!!!

Because It Is … HUMAN...
To NOT Agree With EVERYBODY...
It’s Just The Way That People Be... !!!

But Now It’s CLEAR...
That We MUST ALL Adhere... !?!

To These CANCEL Clans...
And Their... NEW STANCE...

That Apparently Breeds Equality...
And UNITY For Humanity... !!!

Which Is PROVING To Be...
A Whole Load of... CRAP... !!!

So When It Comes To Their Plans...
To DICTATE That Our Chat...
Does NOT OFFEND Their Gangs... !!!

I Need To Make This CLEAR... !!!

“I REALLY AIN’T About That !”
Okay folks, as said, feel free to cancel me !!!
However, this is my stance, and i'm ENTITLED to it.

How Much HONESTY...
Do You See Around You... ???
  
Is It COOL To LIE...
About Your Life... ?  
How You Got Your Wife...
And Your Bit... On The Side... ?!?
  
Is It Really That Wise...
To Be Asking WHY...

To Take Human Life... ?!!!?
  
Is It Wise To Run Chatter...

When It’s...
CLEAR That There Are Factors...
