Profession: Development Worker

Kabura Zakama on April 15th, 2011

Wild questions fill your eyes

Anger bubbles in your voice,

Coalitions of resistance

Inspired nomenclature,

Workshops, seminars

And conferences,

Getting high

On the plight of the poor,

Hardly in the trenches

Mostly in city hotels,

Then the noise dies down

And we retire to chop

The labour of our initiatives,

Still the shit in our pants

Smells like hell.

Omo you go fear satire! I find this really good, with a multi-faceted meaning. It aptly describes the hypocritical nature of some people who claims to be fighting for the masses, when, in fact, they are fighting for their own pockets.

You did good with this one Kabura.

Well done!!!
