revolutionary i return
anything including omniscient
and perhaps with the jinx of a pen
it feels like a sorority blasting
but hey..here’s struggle’s saga:
struggle heralding the advent of the mind’s rebellions
rebellions not easy to be entirely false
rebellions not shattered beyond redemption
rebellions not paralleled by schlerosis to much of what is most powerful in the concrete
revolutionary, i return
fighting for tears and blood
for only thise will suffice to underscore an importance
that i do not take apparent anti-imperialist words as bona fide intentions
so, the glare of struggles saga:
see me sniff out
various marriages of interest between
moral hypocrites and local traitors
who advocate a didatic mission, vision, obligation
and maybe a disposition of supposed democracy and liberalization
revolutionary, i return
as a nation tired of bloated politics
as a public scandalized by thinning employment claims
as a populace angered by high-soaring sophistry and opportunism
as a citizenry massacred by heightened beastly capacity
i present struggle’s saga:
shunning the hegemony of universals and still
knowing the sense of freakish idiosyncratic differences
revolutionary, i return
writing under various aphorisms
and though it may feel a little schizophrenic
i must say and reckon that
truthfulness can replace all kinds if epistemic concerns
so, here’s struggle’s saga:
amani haiji ila kwa ncha ya upanga
you have to excuse me for i bleed
i bleed from a political oppression with which
lies the climax of decline of the revolutionary expedition
revolutionary , i return
with a clever way to challenge the
current cult of unremitting mania for pessimism
in unity, lies strength
the strength of struggle’s saga the strength to free us
off gluttonous and selfish home-made and alien nurtured leaders
the strength to rid dogma and implant pragmatism
the strength to punish patronage and reward merit
the strength to haul pessimism and cultivate infectious optimism

Deep and powerful words. Kudos Kanjukia for capturing the spirit so precisely.
