MHESHIMIWA
honorable…so
they call you
with
the smooth tongue of a viper
more
poisonous than a cobra
you
promised me the moon
yet
you fear darkness
Mheshimiwa….
united in greed, divided in deed,
same
forest…different monkeys
nothing
short of a kleptomania
masquerading
as a philanthropic goldigger
a severe case of acute paranoia
i’m
no more than a puppet in your paraphernalia
Mheshimiwa….
a
colossus in daylight robbery
an
enigma in calculated machismo
the
epitome of legal hooliganism
hypnotized
with your fascism like a marionette
i
can’t help but admire your sadism
how
dare you call yourself a technocrat
when
you are nothing but a first-grade charlatan
Mheshimiwa….
i’ve
had enough of your desperate tantrums
crying
foul like an agitated orangutan
lusting
after every winking geisha
5
years….
you
will be back, calling me ‘mheshimiwa’
you
will beg me like an innocent gecko
i
will crush you like a nut
and
just like fire: a good servant but a bad master
I
will be the master…I will exorcize you….
Mheshimiwa.
Ashioya Ohare-Saumu
