Who is there for the boychild?

Beauty is the concern,
And rules that govern,
Are all in the favor,
Obsessed by the flavor,
Protection of the girl child!
Methinks the boy is wild,
With claws to fight his battle,
And award the girl's parents with cattle!

Who cares of the boys?
Perhaps his toys,
Equality is for the girls,
For the boys are just whirls,
An abandoned gender,
Forgotten for the tender,
Street boys are mess,
Street girls are some bless,
Boys treated like dogs,
Girls handled with caution to avoid clogs,
Academic grades dropped for equality,
Boy's raised to kill equity!

Sexual abuse is only to women,
Battering is to women,
A man lacks a defender,
The man is always the offender,
Chauvinism is wrong,
Feminism is strong,
Democracy is when there's a woman representative,
Democracy is where for men is competitive,
All eyes are on the girl child,
The boy can fend himself isn't he wild?

Song of the elderly

This is the song,
Sung so long,
Sung to critique wrong,
Sung so long
Sung by the elderly.

Marry soon oh my son,
That we share the sun,
With my own grandson,
That I may see your wife,
As I approach the end of my life,
And I watch them with no strife.

Marry soon my son,
And convince me you are straight,
To be sure my line has the real trait,
That my spirit may rest in peace,
Assured my line is a great piece.

Marry soon my son,
A wife of good features,
Who will bear great creatures,
Smart in looks and books,
Needle sharp in brain,
Marry soon my son.

YOU'LL BE THERE,SO PLEASE...

When you visit,
When you squat or sit,
As you read that old newspaper,
And as you fold that recycled paper,
As you put that pressure,
Yes as you strain for pleasure,
Please, direct to the right position,
Let the small outlet direct to the inlet,
As you stand to leave,
Forget not to flush,
Pour water if it can't flush.

A freshener adds the value,
Cleaning up makes it habitable,
Repairing it is mandatory,
Who stays without visiting it?
I mean who stays off a washroom?
Keep it good for it's basic!!!

CAMPUS TRENDS:IS OUR SOCIETY ROTTEN?

The trending events around the public varsities are showing an image worth not associating with. Is our society rotten this much? Are the activities deviant norms? Is the media oversensitizing  the issues?

When a politician's rejection leads to massive destruction of property in an institution of higher learning, a lot is left unanswered. How much help will the politician do worth of destruction of hostels and transformers? It is indeed a pity as for sure even if the leader gets the position very little will be done save for the rhetorics.

Kidnappings by university students is an emerging trend that is not only shocking but also portrays the impact of capitalism in our society. How down can one be to kidnap a child for money?This is pure greed and inhuman venture.

Selling the leaked examination for the high schools is also catapulted by the comrades. As much as the examination body is claiming how fake the papers are, probabilities of the real papers sneaking are high. The source of the menace is likely from within the body.
What triggers the process remains anonymous but the result is evident, how does one make it to campus by cheating and fail continuing the same?

Attacking the publics surrounding the campus is another archaic approach to seeking audience. What wrong does the neighbors do to earn your punishment? Are they in any way conversant or even contributors to your worries?

A comrade is always right so says the popular slogan , the concerns may be genuine but the approach taken indicates otherwise.  This is not the true meaning of been right. Dialogue ought to be embraced and peaceful demonstrations unlike the damaging of property. The sad part is that all will pay and the innocent parents are topped with unprecedented costs.
Thinking of comrades as the creme de la  creme,then one is left wondering what the uneducated are capable of doing. A few rogue individuals are tainting the admired image of the intellects.
Restoring confidence to the people is all that is required but how to make it happen is the tricky part. I blame not only the comrades but the society at large for the conception of such ideologies has its foundation in the society. The administration should be keen on controlling probable messy situations and throwing the ball back to the comrades,your behaviors should equate to your intellectual abilities. Let the good slogan have its true meaning,a comrade is always right.

Those days

When shoes were for Sunday school,
And never requirements at school,
The days when classes were doorless,
Time when the libraries were book less,
Those are the days I learned the hard way.

Those days we used Korobois,
Those days only teacher's book existed
Those days we were beaten like donkeys
And the teachers had a name in the society.

We used to carry water
We used to carry a branch of Sodom apples
We used to carry manure
We used to carry jembes
All at the same time
And lateness was a drama
Missing any item was a death warrant
Those days when learn had the real meaning.

When I saw pupils under trees
When I heard the chief and his APs
Had assisted learning process
When I thought that electricity had been installed
And the teachers hired
Classes constructed under CDF
It was my dawn that change is relative.

Who is the ambassador for the marginalized?
Is the education system in their parts sufficient?
Did I mention the empty bellies?
Hope is all that I have...

Half baked

The cry is heard,
The cry is hard,
Half baked
Semi-prepared,
Questionable credentials,
Papers matching not the skills,
What exactly transpires?

The double intake menace,
That was intended to check on pace,
Of raising the literacy standards,
In higher learning institutions,
Only to worsen the situations,
As the preparedness was at its best a joke,
At its worst a mock,
No new structures,
No new lectures,
Same number of lecturers,
Staggering numbers of pursuing bachelors.
This led to reduced time for studies,
Marathon in semesters,
Overworked comrades,
Who get the motivation to cheat,
Inspiration to plagiarize,
In order to feat the status quo.

Away from the double intake,
New lifestyles in campus,
Where one opts to watch a series at the expense of lessons,
Have a picnic than attend group discussions,
Camp in social media than research on the websites,
Where the handouts are made to short notes than read for understanding,
Where sitting patterns in examinationrooms is a norm in the name of 'strongholds',
And the browsers are references in the examinations.

When first class degrees ceased been on merit,
And one's name,
One's connections,
Pockets' contents,
And the sexualized favors became, the factors for awarding,

Then half bakery emerged!!!

The Word

Not long
Call it wrong
The thought
Of being taught
Playing with words
Was limited in the worlds
Of romance and love
Only to learn that above
The fantastic themes
Words had a bigger duty
Which was much mighty
Watchdog and critique
Inspire work and technique
Share deep  constructive intuition
Supply positive motivation
And with that
The word is gold
The word, so bold
The word , never cold
The word should be
Written and told.
