A Married Man
A Married Man
Contiguous is his smile, bright his brain
He smells sexy, and sounds sophisticated, too elitist to turn decent women on,
Smart and handsome, just like a movie star version
He is the man I have met in my dreams and imagination since the day love is known
But he is married, Now that I have met him in person,
I am not ashamed to admit, I am helplessly in love with him.
I love his eyes, his ears, his style,
The height of his neck and the stretch of his legs,
The accuracy of his brain, his balanced sense of morality,
The punch of his voice and calmness of his composure,
God, do I have to say it more …. Nampenda
But I am that girl, who believes not in being a mistress,
Not because I am selfish and I need him to be my own – that is not pointless,
But I can’t stand a thought of a tearing wife as he waits for him spending time with his mistress
Or the despair of his children – dad can no longer play games, busy being loved in secrecy
A friend told me, all men cheat,
If not with you, it will be with someone else, so if I love him, better be me! That make sense, right?
But would I be able to call him first thing in the morning when all I wanted to hear is his smooth voice to turn my sanity and make my day bright?
Or it will be a life of steering on my phone hoping he will sneak a text between his meetings or wife’s kitchen surveillance rights?
The say, married men don’t love, they use, but I disagree,
All I have seen in him is the loving of the highest degree.
He doesn’t love me because there is trouble in paradise but simply because he loves … me-ee
Truth is I feel the same way. But our crime, meeting in odd times, the world condemns me-ee
If you should know
Gallons of tears I have shed before God begging to make us connect
Here he is, just like I prescribed with one minor mistake 99% correct
Can I real go back to God complaining that, he got one thing to correct?
How, will that not make me an ungrateful brat?
I have met many men to surely know he is the one
But I have not lived to enjoy the pain of anyone
Should I love him as mine or let go and fight my feelings on my own.
Brothers and sisters tell me am not insane!

Hasira ni Udhaifu
Hasira ni Udhaifu
Hasira hazijengi, wahenga walitwambia
Mbona sasa huzitengi, mwenzangu wazikumbatia
Tena kwa makeke mengi, bila hata kujutia
Hasira ni udhaifu
Ulitongoza kwa pole, huku ukinyenyekea
Ahadi tele na tele, na nyimbo kuniimbia
Nikakuchagua tule, dume nimejipatia
Hasira ni udhaifu
Ndoa ya kisheria, dunia ikashangilia
Mizinga na zumaria, vyote wakatupigia
Wadini walihudhuria, baraka kutupatia
Hasira ni udhaifu
Ndani tumeingia, hasira waniletea
Hila zimekuingia, kila kitu wakemea
Vitisho wanitishia, tena kwa kunionea
Hasira ni udhaifu
Wanangu wawachukia, waziwazi wawambia
Vita wawatangazia, eti adabu kuwatia
Huku ukiwatambia, ubabe ulojitwalia
Hasira ni udhaifu
Wewe si mume wa kwanza, wanne wametangulia
Ubabe utakuponza, wana watakuchukia
Hakika watakubeza, dharau kukujazia
Hasira ni udhaifu
Ulezi ni kuwafunda, pale wanapokosea
Kwa mapenzi bila inda, heshima utajijengea
Nasi tutakupenda, mapenzi kufurahia
Hasira ni udhaifu
Hasira ni udhaifu, si sifa wala ujanja
Watu kuwatia hofu, kamwe hutakidhi haja
Waonesha upungufu, wa ubaba wenye tija
Hasira ni udhaifu
Unanipa fadhaiko, ndoani mtikisiko
Kucha huishi vituko, vyenye kuleta sikitiko
Walitafuta anguko, maafa mtiririko
Hasira ni udhaifu
Nakuomba kwa hisani, acha ubabe wako
Amani ilete ndani, nifaidi mke wako
Watoto wawe furahani, Jenga familia yako
Hasira ni udhaifu

Castro Came to Tanzania: Karibu na Kwaheri Fidel
A Tribute by Richard Mabala:
Oh my,
My heart is shaken
Trembling beneath the crash of another mighty tree
It stood firm for so long
Withstanding tempests no other could stand
Unmoved
Unbowed
Protecting, sheltering,
Nurturing so many
As its branches spread out far and wide
Withering only in the face of age
Gnarled in body
But still inwardly strong
Only age could conquer him
And now it has
Another hero gone
Another inspiration
Taken from us
Like Nyerere
Cabral
Fanon
Samora
Malcolm
Che
And so many others
Hamba Kahle camarada
Buen viaje
Safiri salama
We are poorer
Diminished without your presence
But still we rejoice in your life
Enriched by your work
Strengthened by your example
Not victory or death
But victory despite death
A luta continua
Statement of Cuba/Tanzania Friendship Society on Commandante Fidel’s Death:
The Tanzania/Cuba Friendship Society wishes to convey our heartfelt condolences to the people and government of Cuba following the death of the beloved historic leader of the Cuban Revolution Commandante Fidel Castro Ruz. We have been aware of and followed with great concern comrade Fidel’s failing health for a long while since 2006 when he underwent a major surgery. Although he was not in direct control of Party and State affairs,his physical presence in the background Cuban scene was like a bright star shining and providing light and guidance to the political,socio-economic trajectory of the heroic Cuban society.
Now that he has passed away that star has inevitably dimmed but not faded away completely.For he has bequeathed to history and generations an enduring lasting legacy in the form of his exemplary intellectual capacity,dedicated selfless leadership and inspiring revolutionary credentials.He leaves behind a potent lesson and a message to all struggling humanity against indignity,exploitation and social oppression to firmly adhere to steadfastness,resistance and unwavering commitment to principles.His nemesis western and US imperialism in particular as expected has greeted his death with euphoria and a sense of infantile celebration.We know they will as usual continue to use their mainstream media to lie,distort,cover-up the pernicious effects of US economic blockade on Cuba and other anti-Cuba wrong-doings (including the 600 criminal assassination plots targeting Fidel) as well as slander his personality while denying his achievement in ensuring the sustainability and survival of the Cuban revolutionary project despite the unrelenting hostility of the US empire.
The Tanzanian/Cuban Friendship Society solemnly calls on the Cuban people to hold high Fidel’s banner and spirit of eternal combat against injustices spawned by the born-again neo-liberal predatory capitalism as we join hands to mourn the physical demise of the indefatigable son of Cuba comrade Fidel Castro. Patria O Muerte, VENCEREMOS!
SALIM MSOMA
CHAIRMAN, TANZANIA/CUBA FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY.
