Throughout East and Equatorial Africa, poetry is or has become an avenue for expressing feelings, dreams,hopes and fears.
Poetry occupies a special place in everyday life.
Poets memorize and recite poems that reflect the wisdom of their people and their daily experiences.
A skilled poet can talk for several hours without tiring............
--------------------
Today's poems have become lyrics to rap songs.Rappers and their music have evolved from traditional storytellers/griots to international celebrities.
What body painting was has now become body tattooing.The Kingship gold chains and bracelets, have now become blings and ice.
The "Call and Response" in the village has taken over the concert stages and memories are now preserved in CDs.

"Blogging reality"

"Rather than love,than money,than fame,give me truth."
-Henry David Thoreau

Bloggers are said to be the community journalists and voice of the voiceless...........
Personally I view blogging as a celebration of diversity,human life and day to day experience.
Before immersing myself in the blogging world, life around me was just "life"- just living and passing time.
My way of thinking,viewing and judging of issues that were happening around me gradually started to change overtime.
Through blogging i.e. expressing myself and meeting other people on line really added something I never knew I had.
I began seeing the beauty in my surroundings and began appreciating myself more.
Due to this "blogging effect",I've talked to fellow street artists and friends to post their stuff on the net.
Some don't see the importance or the value.Others just have difficulty accessing the Internet and some it's like gibberish......

Just flying over >>.>

A sunny day....the sound of vehicles moving and a height above the rest ---,is what the camera showed me.

Nairobi stone

The above milliary stone is located along Kenyatta avenue near the GPO.It's one of a kind.Maybe that's the reason it's fenced around.The design itself is unique.

Early post/ stocks $ hues

The recession that is affecting all corners of the globe made me remember one of my early paintings.As an alternative- stocks can be traded like an auction house.
I found the NYSE photo in some old magazine that was thrown in a dump around town.

Tribute to MJ

Dancing shoes

Guys received the news with disbelief and shock.In short,Mj inspired everyone in the world.I've been hearing his songs from nursery school to the present days.
People got impressed by his fine dance moves and passionate singing.As an artist and a fan I had to react to the sad news.
Maybe his demise will unleash a new art movement like Obamaism.It might be MJism or the popular Wacko Jacko.Who knows? ^^^

My Drawings 6

The little shops found in the countryside are designed in such a way that everyone sees whats happening around.No jostling or littering.
Some of them were built during the colonial era and are still intact.
