My Beloved

It’s been seasons,
Yet I haven’t missed her—
For you are the garden
Where my heart now rests.

I.
My flower, distant in miles but near in step,
You bloom in the chambers of my heart,
Rooted deep in my mind’s fertile soil,
A perennial presence in my soul’s quiet plot.

II.
Your voice—honeyed and warm—
Sends peace cascading through my veins.
When you sigh, "I miss you,"
Time stumbles. My pulse becomes a wild drum.

III.
In our sacred nights, I cradle you,
A sculptor marveling at his masterpiece:
The silk of your pink thighs,
The poetry of your curves,
Your mouth’s golden nectar—
A taste sweeter than stolen butter.

IV.
You are my torch in the trembling dark.
With you, shadows become steps I dare to take.
My sun. My dawn. My photosynthesis.
You turn my fears into light.

V.
Now, as night drapes the sky,
I trace constellations in your eyes—
Dark as the cosmos, bright as streetlights,
Twin stars I’d orbit until time collapses.

Roll One

The sun hung low in the sky, a dull orange ember smoldering behind a haze of dust. Chwa found Bandia perched on the cracked concrete slabs that served as the stairway to their mother’s house. Bandia’s eyes were half-lidded, the whites tinged pink, his gaze drifting lazily over the empty yard. The scent of burnt herbs clung to him—earthy, pungent, familiar. They greeted each other with a loose bump of fists, knuckles barely grazing. Chwa lowered himself beside his brother, the rough concrete biting into his thighs. For a while, neither spoke. The silence between them was comfortable, worn-in, like an old shirt. Finally, Chwa exhaled sharply and said, "Bandia, I think it’s time I started smoking weed." Bandia turned slowly, his lips curling into a knowing smirk. "Oh? And what brought this grand revelation?" Chwa rubbed his palms together, staring at the dirt between his feet. "I used to think I could get through this life sober. Thought if I worked hard, kept my ...

Childhood Puzzles: Review of Ngũgĩ's Dreams in a Time of War

In a world dominated by capitalist narratives, authentic voices that challenge prevailing systems often face marginalization. This has been the fate of Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o's works, which courageously expose the evils of colonialism and neo-colonial corruption. While his books may gather dust in forgotten library corners, they remain vital resources for truth-seekers. Dreams in a Time of War, Ngũgĩ's 2010 memoir, offers a unique perspective on Kenya's turbulent history through the confused but perceptive eyes of a child. A Child's Bewildered Perspective The memoir's greatest strength lies in its portrayal of childhood confusion amid historical upheaval. Young Ngũgĩ witnesses traumatic events that only gain meaning in adulthood: 1. The Land Theft Paradox When Ngũgĩ's father loses his land to a Christian convert neighbor, the community's helplessness reveals colonialism's perverse logic. Though everyone knows the land rightfully belongs to Ngũgĩ's fam...

Israel’s Aggression in the Middle East: The Urgent Need to Stop Supporting Zionist Expansionism

 The Middle East is once again engulfed in flames as Israel launched airstrikes against Iran on June 13, 2025, further destabilizing an already volatile region. This latest act of aggression is not an isolated incident but part of a long-standing pattern of Zionist expansionism, backed by Western powers, particularly the United States. For decades, Israel has justified its military campaigns under the guise of "self-defense," while simultaneously being the primary aggressor in the region. The time has come for the world to wake up and recognize the truth: Israel is not a victim but a perpetrator of violence, and its continued belligerence threatens global peace. This article will dismantle three key myths that sustain Western support for Israeli aggression: The False Narrative of Israel’s "Right to Defend Itself" The Dangerous Religious Myth of Jewish Exceptionalism The Geopolitical Strategy to Weaken the Middle East By the end of this piece, it will be clear that s...
