THE SETTLED NOMADS
Roncho it is
It is not a place
Of starving and thirst
It's a place of need and knit
Where herders and animals
Rest in fragile harmony
Like old friends
With nothing to prove
A place of Passion,
love and peace
It's not a place for mere survival
It is identity and a belonging
It is a story being lived,
Not written in books
But walked through, everyday

NOMADISM 🖊

Watch
Your looks make me fantasize
Your sight make me a slave
Your dark complexion is adorable

I swear I worship your ground
Giving a living a reason.
Every music note
My heart sings you.

Your smile makes my breath dissappear
Your perfect face send my sense to a vacation
I swear you illuminate my days.
Your beauty is hypnotised

Oh,an art of my heart
A wonder of creativity
Now be mine,I swear I will never sway.
Even if we fall we will always rise

*MAA NATION IS BLEEDING*

I don't wanna write like a poem
But like a letter directed to samia
For red nation wants peace
Stop giving a deaf ear to their cry
For our hearts are bleeding
Our eyes dry of sobbing😭
Your odious act is really traumatizing

Samia suluhu, where is your heart of a mother
Instead you have awaken the monster,dragon and deadly spirit in you
Your paramilitaries are cocking their riffles against the red nation
Causing a monstrous act and akin holocaust to the maa people
Forcefully evicting them in their ancestral lands
Torturing our mothers and shooting our fathers like gazelles
Harassing our women and our children left unattended.
Causing brutality to our young and old men.

Not because they have failed to be responsible
Not because they have refuse to stand the order of government taxes
Not because they are Babylonian terrorist
Not because they are cattle rustlers or bandit.
Just because you want to exchange their lives with tourists dollars.
Maasai have been the caretakers of wildlife ngorongoro,loliondo and Serengeti.
They have been the most hospitable community in your land
It's hard to believe you are killing them because of their vast resources.

Allow me to address you madam president
The time to stand tall for liberation is here
To fight for what belong to us
To the last drop of our blood we shall struggle
Our land will only go when will be no circumcised man standing
I will not feel bored to write,to let you know we neglect war and choose peace.

Oh! God,Enkai pasinai tadamu olosho lemaa
Melo enkop ang king'orita
Tushukoki yiook enkop ang.

WHERE IS THE HEART OF THE TANZANIAN GOVERNMENT?😢💔

Samia Suluhu, I don’t know how to address you.coz If I call you "Mother," where is your motherly heart?💔 If I address you as "Her Excellency," where is your honor when your people sorry the people of Enkai’s own nation are roaming hopelessly without homes?

They have been forcefully chased out of their ancestral lands, places they grew up calling home. Why should your greedy government treat the Maasai people with such disdain?

This is a community that has long coexisted with wildlife, the best in conserving it, with roots that go deep into the soil of Ngorongoro. Stripping the Maasai of their land is to strip them of their identity, their history, and their future. Koree duo obulu le Maasai le Ngorongoro? This is a pure violation of human rights, Madam Suluhu. Wapi suluhu kwako if this is what you do best?

This heinous act of heartlessness is driven by greed and is nothing short of an atrocity. History will judge you harshly.

As I draw this letter to a close, Madam President, you should stop this inhumane act. The whole world is watching, and the Maasai people deserve respect. Stop maasai eviction.✊
