"tribalism" poems
Africa, Oh Africa! Africa, Oh Africa! My Motherland, Why not take pride in who you are? When you converse, You use the language of the West. The offspring of the same parents, And still use the language of the West. Your own children try to distance themselves and dress and talk like Those from the West. Your airwaves are filled with music, Fast beats, foul language and heavy metal from the West. Even the food you eat All processed and purchased From the West. Your fields are dry. You laugh at traditional foods and ceremonies. You have forgotten who you are. Your heritage cries out From the depths of the tombs you're filling up with immorality and your self-destructive ways. You despise who are, You ridicule who you are, You try so hard to change Who you are Your heroes and comrades In entertainment and politics In the community, the society Have been overshadowed By those from the West. Remember them, Revere them, More so alive than after death. Resurrect Ubuntu, Show a little compassion For a fellow who needs it. Stop the hate, tribalism And racism. This path of destruction Will get you nowhere. Let peace rule in the Motherland. Respect your elders, Salute the teachers Who try to lead your youth In the right direction. Teach your children well Violence is not the way The pen is still mightier Than the sword Eradicate illiteracy End child labour and Marriages. Honour, love and protect Your women and children. They will give you respect and happiness in return. Follow the footprints Of your forebears. Live in harmony with Yourself. Africa, Oh Africa! Africa, Oh Africa! Take note Before it's too late!

Alexander K Opicho (Eldoret, Kenya;[email protected]) I don’t don't how much the world is tired Of hearing again in this year that Still tribalism and negative ethnicity Is Gog and magog with Africa, I mean Africa The second largest continent in the world After Asia, being seconded by Americas, Her only cultural overture is tribalism and tribes Large tribes swallowing small ones Small tribes making desperate moves Like bush ****** in the lethal fangs of the python, Large tribes swallowing political fruits as the small ones In despair look, being choked by forlorn appetite, Tribalism, listen! Leave Africa alone; stop messing up the African youth Tell the Dinka and the Nuer of the southern Sudan to put down the arms The arms made in the old Russia, the AK 47, Tell them to go to Russia not to buy Arms but books of poetry and literature To buy Dead souls of Nikolai Gogol and Brothers Kamarazov of Fydor Dostoyevsky, Tribalism, listen! Am tired of introducing myself By my clan, I don’t want to be known by my clan I want to be known by my work; I am a poet I sing and chant the African incantations of freedom I do not perpetrate feelings of tribal terror It is never my work to cement ethnicity Tribes are good but tribalism is evil, or satanic or impish Or gnomic or macabarous or ghastly insidious, As its hatred is the most heinous.

Life.
Oh God, the Most Merciful and Compassionate: Please grant us the grace and opportunity to be your instrument in the mercy and compassion that you epitomize. May You grant us peace in our lifetime and frustrate those who seek to cause discord and sow hatred in your name. Please enlighten our collective conciousness. May we be continually reminded that we are all on this Pale Blue Dot together. Please help us to grow out of this petty and useless tribalism and nationalism that are invoked far too often to justify violence. May You grant us all a desire to strive for peace and have mercy on us for our many sins against each other. Amen

A prayer
My country Nigeria, Am a citizen by birth, That’s the Criteria, A blessed nation on the earth, Driven by atrocities as bacteria, A place I was proud to call home, Am a negros and Nigeria is my home, But she’s going down the pan, Causing mortality in my clan. Due to manifestos, We commercialize with hoes. It started with our independence, We thought love would take Prominence, But rather war, corruption and coups, And Tribalism feed on us My plea goes to the world power, Our corruption is taller than any tower, Our leader convince us that colonization Was necessary, Seems we we have cross that boundary. Please colonize us again, Because decolonization has no gain, Remove all these leaders, The made us cry aloud to mothers. I admit we weren’t ripe, We just wanted to be free, Like the smoke from papa’s pipe, Please colonize us! At least Of these situations we shall be free!

Played by cheaters Kicking a round ball War of attrition Divers open to fall. Sportsmanship rarely Revealing its sporting head It's tribalism in a skin you cannot shed Field of dreams Beautiful game Why do the players put the game to shame The game is the game, it is what it is The games played by people taking the p-ss

The cheating game
*where cello was semi-colon, where violins (always plural, no one's weeping or playing to beg) are colon, where Bach's (church pianos) organs / castrato livers kidneys hearts... where comma was the trebling silver triangles... where full-stop was the composer turning into a conductor, to detach himself from the act of composition and into a drama, a staged drama, a Sisyphus ram against the stable coordinate of perpetuated slam dunking bullseye for only a: knock knock. who's there? knock knock nowhere. nowhere where? here. where what? knock knock open the ******* door!* i lived to the age of 70, i loathed hating people, and i loathed loving them hence the reason i never married, i could have lived alone but the monetary system absolved that wish... tribalism would never give us mozart's symphony no. 40 because we would be exchanging favours instead of monetary funds... via solipsism and the ugly synonym autism... ****** instead of wives... well, there you go... her eager libido explains much, as a teenager ****** eager (rhyme rhyme rhyme) explains her escapism into outliving man; her satan's bargain truly did favour hair, oh **** her, while he died a splendid death aged approx. 30, she with a **** salute saluted him: i'm worth 90 autumns! yeah, 90 autumns and arthritis.

tribalism par excellence / kentucky finger licking good
At the Biafran front, I fought Tearing down Nigerians With shots of guns We fought like men Defending our lands But with risk and fear As some went blind Among our troops Were hatred and envy Tribalism of doom Had taken over our army. Alongside my brother We triggered together Tearing down men Like pales of feathers. As a boy of sixteen I saw terror in fifteen Behold dead men lay like weeds Vultures had enough to feed Among the dead people I saw my old father, he died still feeble. Turning to my right Lay my mother, sister at flight My hands became weak And my heart did bleed They were killed by the army Which I fought that they live. Biafra was in famine As children starved to death A thousand Igbos massacred at night As our troops retreat to die. Nigeria flew their jets Bombing no one but children and old women A grenade caught my brother And I knew it all be over. The seaways were surrounded Nigerian Navy locked us in our grave No weapon came to Biafra Even our camouflage had become rags Enugu; capital of Biafra had been captured There's nothing left, except to be raptured. Oron and Calabar fell Nigeria sent us hell So in battle front we had Nothing more than matchets and planks Our major had ran And we were left, to die at our hands. With fear, my fellows fell The fear of death, none could tell I ran through the forest Finding way for my escape Lo there was a tunnel And so I escaped Colonels. Fifty thousand fighters quite survived it They were buried alive In mass graves for their deeds. Down in my tunnel of sleep I saw my family in the deep Papa, I called aloud my father He said go for the war is over. Biafra had surrendered But I had lost an arm Millions had died Diseases did bade them bye The war, famine did sail them high Though a soldier I survived. I had lost my home family and lineage. What would I do with a withered arm? Flies had really fed it by As the last man alive, No one cared whether I die. So I died a lonely death With no one to cry

You’d be surprised What can be accomplished With your eyes sealed to the world Stumbling in and out of love With the wrong person, The right person Standing still while The crowd moves about And you face the opposite direction Awaiting the joy Coveted and insured from bloom As it swims past your bones like a ghost The miles you drive Without taking the sights Or abiding the lines You can point and shoot You can win or lose But it holds no concern It’s the feeling of knowing you’re lost But cease to admit Because it looks like life There is no sleep to be had When you shut your eyes to the world Just an endless reaching for the walls you built Maintain balance So no one suspects And tramples the comfort you found They only see brown rust in your eyes If you never show the raw burning red And the vacancy of motive Nothing hurts so bad If you don’t stare directly at it Or ignore it altogether But when you finally open them Don’t be skittish about what you’ve found It’s only happening one blink at a time War and drugs And wars on drugs And automatic guns Disease and regret And misleads and misread And greed over guilt Smiles and words All things absurd Hunger and cures Lies and truths Bigotry and fake news Decay of education Tribalism Bibles Prisons Capital Collateral Intangibles But you’ve pulled back the curtains And you’ve drawn in the light So you must never again close your eyes

well acting is a metaphysical assertion of the physical act of theft, in Cartesian terms: a part of the extension is stolen, for example an object passed down via generations, your grandmother's wedding ring... acting is in a sense a theft that defines creating a civilisation and eradicating tribalism: galoshes, guttering, sewers and irritable bowel movements. some said acting was a subtler form of defining theft, given the term       doppelgänger; i.e. i stole your shadow, all you have is a hand to mimic a shape of a hare's head to please children,                           deal with it.

civilised theft
I've read about bloodshed; whether foreign or local by hands of same labour, Tribalism; though something I haven't experienced, I've felt it's affect. The very hurt of a neighbour. History has shown us plenty, still the plenty of hurt in our history we carry. If these walls could talk; they'd seem lesser, and quietened by the ground's bloodshed. History taught us well into future, but affected the present so badly. Tears of loss, tears of tragedy, tears of us, tears of brothers and sisters, Are tears of all, us as one nation's family. Tears of old, tears anew, tears of past, tears of present and future, Are the tears of another I shed too. These tears on the grounds of present pastures; I question how long generations we'll wait for the tears to into laughter. Sigh!

African tears
News! News! in its surrealistic gear, Charles Darwin of England has resurrected, He is here in Africa, roaming the deserts In the savannah belts of Turkana Land, Looking for African skulls for a second living. He is in the company of Richard Leakey, Talking among themselves with air of comradeship, Behaving wiseacre over the Africans there, Looking from place to place to rename The current African humans, He has already named people of Kenya And all the people in the subhara of Africa With a new paradoxical evolutionary tag, They are now homotribaliticus Africanus, A tag reflecting African tribalism in politics, He has met the Chinese and renamed them too, They are now homo-pecunias asianicus Or the money making Asians, Darwin has freshly renamed Americans This time round not as caucasoids, But as homocapitalisticus putinis stupidous, His shrewdness did not go with erstwhile death, He also has s pecial evolutionary tag for Africans Zinjipoliticus idioticus, or the fools who die politically.

Resurrection of Charles Darwin
Globalism The winter after war was not jubilant the snow was slushy like the beginning of spring. A poor street, houses had not been painted not much food and the ice was reluctant to let go of its deadly grip. I saw it along a wall of flaking cement a small solitary, yellow flower the colour so bright it blinded me it was like I had a moment of clarity I understood and saw it all. In the windows of old houses’ on sills flower in pots in tins, humanities need for beauty. I must not forget hasted home find a piece of paper and write it down. But I didn’t get it down on paper my thoughts that were influenced by beautiful minds. So long ago now, it was 1950 and people were friendly we had suffered together and survived. We are not the people of the world we are tribe, however modern, it is our group's survival that counts. Tribalism is much stronger than globalism it can never speak our language.

take money out of the equation, and sack all the waiters and return to tribalism, the former statement of non-intellectual socialism, the sort of inherent: in us there is a togetherness, no more service from strangers in the hierarchy of enriching a piece of metal or a wavy rectangle of paper with “necessary” symbolism of authority of the status quo... but that’s not going to happen... the pickpocket picts are no more... the normalising normans glared at the hastings pinnacle and integrated with the saxon women... the saracens became surnames in poland... actually that last one is very true... a branch of my family has the surname saracen. so i’m reading this article and i’m hardly debasing myself, it’s not that i’m referring to sartre’s negation of certain things whether animate and essential or inanimate and existential... in that formula: i deny therefore i am... because i can’t deny my existence... and 2000 years down the line i’ll be pitchfork argument in an atheist’s mouth anyway (nothing is certain in the realm of cognition, hence the cartesian invocation of doubt), it's not like i'm referring to inappropriate pronoun usage... so **** a doodle do... twang the strings on the mandolin... i’m referring to this classical reference of the shy literary figure unable to spark conversation with strangers... god, i really love strangers, and talking to them! why? there is no personal history, there’s no past, there are no reference points... it’s just the moment and nothing else, the perfect anonymity project... not the matrix philosophy (easily invoked because it has a flimsy plot-line and loads of images... just what the doctor ordered for the english speaking masses with a very naked orthography - i.e. if it’s on the internet it’s not “real life...” as is this computer i’m using it’s not even here!) of using the deep web to join the rats and etc.; i love talking to strangers, i can forget myself and enter the realm of discretion about how within randomisation of eggshell, yoke and cockroach there’s also the randomisation of the interactants to balance out the need for a theological unit, god... it’s great... it’s like... it’s like... life. defining the genre of biography proper? never backtrack... always sidetrack... i can’t be bothered living a life with cocktail parties and romps and romantic comedies to look forward to once all the animalism becomes domesticated and a gym-session complaints column in a newspaper.

I can’t remember when, The last time I we didn’t cry, The last time we were happy, I can’t recall, When there was no blood shed, Why do we have to suffer and mourn? For the losing of our loved ones, Why? I can’t tell when, We'll escape away from our sins, For the tide will always hit, And we’ll feel the storm, Scrape your hearts, I don’t know when, We’ll never be found in massacres, Alshabab? ISIS? Xenophobia? In worthless clashes many perish, Religious leaders, Aren’t you tired of burials? Haven't we sinned against God, Who do we expect to save us? If we don’t see our wrongs, Air crashes and road accidents Attack our beloved continent, Now it’s politics We fight each other like fools, The police ****** us like chicken, Increasing number of the dead, Disaster after disaster, Politicians cheat you, They lie to you with intentions, They blinded us long ago, Feeding our minds with hatred, We think that they are the Bosses, Yet we are theirs employers, We should wake up and fight, Fight for peace and justice, If not so, I don’t know when we’ll be free, Free from problems, Free tribalism and racism, Flee from all your sins, Where are we heading to?

Who Will Save Us?
I’m in the company of new folks Or else folk if that’s appropriate The singular and plural still perplex me But approaching them is Easier to do than I expected Easier at least Than trying to relate to the smiles Fixed at regular intervals that Span the distance between us I pass them all by Oh so happy to see them With a nod for a greeting Before seating myself With the self-proclaimed degens A few glasses of wine behind But accepted and liked Even seen by Strangers whose faces Show something that’s just as much mine As it is beyond me We’re all introduced And decide we enjoy One another - at least With the alcohol, so We migrate toward the only vent That isn't in the only restroom Of the venue of the thing Eventually reciprocating contact information Before drinking all together At some other bar Some place We’re not so worried about Sharing or hiding ourselves And promising we’ll meet again soon Fingers crossed

as long as Egypt remains Egyptology
as they all say before the taxes and children and mortgage... ah hmm... life in colours, postcards on the ready of who's jealous of who... go! i too discovered sardines in tins like i were christopher columbus discovering america: sardines with pineapples or coconuts in tins, given i was christopher columbus and only reached the carribean islands and merely shouted across the two shores: ahoy new land twice western indies, we bring your the sport of cricket and solidarity of something resembling post-tribal society you're clearly not comfortable with given your efficient tribalism, and our doomed post-tribal society of free music downloads and a monetary system not based on the magpie's appreciation of either gold or silver!

that’s genius! honestly, we killed apache and aztec tribalism off with money, by said: copper signatured elizabeth ii is worth more than gold signatured john... there was  never a second given the magna carta... only the individual will to will survives... to get the biological categorisation treatment is really horrid, morbid to resurrect death even; otherwise it's all heidegger as: only the individual will to be survives... which really does but really doesn't appropriate humanity, given there's no given example - although ideally it's all maple syrop & pancakes dandy. i hate the english intellectual output, it’s so finite, so fascinated with post-anglo-saxon gore. nonetheless...     copper worth more than gold     just, just because it had elizabeth ii written on it     as the unrighteous owner of copper?!     i dare say i will complain with a jacobite plot    to plough fireworks in parliament. i guess it does translate as kingdom in nothern ireland: bow and **** the kind m’lord; i’ll write you a *********** of reality you wish you could have seen: just so you could satiate your necessity of writing fiction... because in terms of reality and writing fiction... you haven’t seen enough of the first. so you do the next best thing equated with western democracy... you hide me.
