Spoken Poetry.

1.      Mheshimiwa Mheshimiwa is coming, my aunt tells me every woman at noon be under the village's mugumo tree. Mheshiwa has something for women  a kilo of unga a kanga - with his photo and slogan  and fifty shillings each! Mheshiwa wants our kura, my aunt tells me you see kijana last uchaguzi he gave us  this - she points at a cup, and promises. Mheshiwa alichaguliwa,  her smile fades he disappeared just to return to day five years! she screams as she gathers her basket it is a coffee picking day.
