Collaborative poem by
Stephen Mupoto [Ngugi Wamkiri]
Norman Mwale [The PenPusher]
The jungle has but one law,
Stand or run!
Be a predator or be prey!
This is the politics of the jungle,
Where the fittest survive.
Jesters sit to propagate skewed laws,
To protect an oligarchy,
The oppressed are but punch bags,
To punitive codes.
Oh, hell no!
Black faces,
Engrossed in shadows of
Black sun light.
Political volcanoes spew molten
Edicts
To inflate their propagandistic laws
Where promise wear black cutis
With fetus dreams face aborticide,
Equity wrapped in thunder clouds
To even penalize the
Fallible in this obtuse
Jungle!
