STILL LIFE, STEALING LIFE CAUGHT RED-HANDED by Kalamu ya Salaam.

How it hurts
a whole country arrested by progress, the gleaming manacles of modern transnational management mangling and mutilating the wrist of a youthful labor force.
In the airport
a sign, a slogan the words “economic revolution” originally writ large in red,
now nigh invisible, are fading away.
C’est la vie,
revolutions are never easy
never negotiated nor agreed with handshake and signature.
More often
it is a bullet which recorder the wealth
and the severed hands of traitorous thieves
cut off that seals the success of struggle….

Kalamu ya Salaam
