DEADMEN SPEAKS: A POEM BY VENANCE GILBERT

I heard deadmen tells no tale
but these ones do
They are burdened with a lots
Weak folks who talks nothing
just talking in mind in the streets
I say so because one of them is me
I speak for deadmen.

Six years with no stable duties to perform
while responsibilities have taken-off
This week this job next week none
and I have to survive regardless
But how without money
How can I count money without job?
I speak for deadmen.

While I'm enjoying my jobless survival
Executive wants to collect from my pocket
I have to pay tariff to buy light
tariff to withdraw my hard-earned saving
Actually they care about us a lot
Us living under poverty line
I speak for deadmen.

Like I said, deadmen tells tale
but their voices lack sound
Are we mute? No
We can't utter with no food in stomach
Where do we get energy while starving?
Food pricetag is a really scaring monster
I speak for deadmen. 

This folk spent four years seeking job
Got tired and decided to be a manager of his job
One year of self employment market catch fire
Light in his eyes was taken by that fire
Now he walks like cripple to move again
And debts alert is making him mad
I speak for deadmen.  

A sister folk got job interview
Had to go for written and go again for one-to-one
and all these needs money she don't have, how fun?
Fare travels besides high oil pricetag
She had to drop the shortlisting
Because she is penniless to cover job seeking costs
I speak for deadmen. 

Life is a hell dear folk
No other hell than this
Find your money, live this hell
Waiting for huge bucks is worthless
Cause they don't care your sufferings
It is only when they want you to cast
I speak for deadmen.

There is this tale of folk with many folks
Expecting the best from them next
The best he never tried to prepare
Absolutely no folk harvest food at the road
Since food is grown at farms
Every folk should take care of their farms to harvest
I speak for deadmen.

HISTORIA YA KOMBE LA DUNIA TANGU 1930, WAANDAAJI & WASHINDI

KUANZISHWA KWA MICHUANO YA KOMBE LA DUNIA Mafanikio ya michuano ya mpira wa miguu ya Olimpiki ndiyo yalikua mwanzo wa  FIFA kutamani kuwa na michuano yake ya Kombe la Dunia kwa mchezo wa mpira wa miguu.

MAMBO YA MUHIMU KUFAHAMU NA KUZINGATIA KABLA YA KUCHAGUA KOZI (TAALUMA) CHUO KIKUU

Picha kwa hisani ya Debt.org 1.0 UTANGULIZI Nilipokuwa mwanafunzi wa chuo kikuu nilisikia manung'uniko miongoni mwa wanafunzi wenzangu wengi wa vyuo vikuu ambayo yalitokana na taaluma wanazosoma. Kuna sababu kadha wa kadha zinazopelekea manung'uniko hayo miongoni mwa wasomi hawa tukiachilia mbali suala la ucheleweshwaji wa mikopo miongoni mwa wasomi hawa (kwa sasa changamoto hii inapungua kadiri siku zinavyosonga). Tatizo lingine ambalo linawasumbua wasomi hawa ni suala la uchaguzi wa taaluma gani akaisome Chuo Kikuu. Uchaguzi wa taaluma (career choice) ni jambo nyeti sana na la kuzingatia kwa muhitimu yeyote wa elimu ya kuanzia kidato cha nne. Jamii yetu ya Tanzania haifahamu kwa undani kuhusu umuhimu wajambo hili lakini huku ndiko msingi hundaliwa. Mtu anapohitimu kidato cha nne na kupata ufaulu wa kujiunga na masomo ya kidato cha tano ama ngazi ya astashahada (certificate) na stashahada (diploma) hapo ndipo uchanguzi wa taaluma huanza. Kwa kuandika makala haya ninakusudia ...
