Niran, Carsten and Eileen,
Yes, to des- escalate it and try to save some lives.. what must we do? when I think of the challenge from the man we lost last year and who became the African of the Year last year, of Okello Oculli, I ask, are we done in…

Niran,
I feel the pain and am lost for words especially when you say it makes you numb. It reminds me and not only reminds me, opens deep wounds again and again, and will they ever heal? Yesteray, when I read about Jos, I held my breath.. about the…

Wow! that is great! Drama Society sounds good. My friend Shailja has written Caught in the Act, a drama about homophobia... you might want to look at it? for performance there? She is not in SA but sure would be happy?

Somehow when you say what inspired the poem it is good. Glad to know. I like it is simply difficult.. yes, taxes are always fractions on fractures.. and so on.. and good. do you have a poem of hope?

Niran, I have a book, not very fancy as it is full of facts too... about activists. Its title is "What is the use of the revolution if we can´t dance?" Just to say am enjoying what am doing very much. I have only been sad to see some…

Winslow,
I commented on your poem straight away.. but the adding jammed and became part of the problems I had had handling new Macs in a school am in for a week.
I felt that you brought home to us what we do not usually really want to touch. I…

Jacob Oketch said… - Hi Philo,
I am back here at sawu with a bang.To our departed brothers,
I will not let my voice be muffled
By vultures who know nothing
But decimation of our values
I will not stop wailing
for the loss of a loved one
I will not stop ranting my lines
in euology of a departed comrade
What are you afraid of
Certainly not me
Is it the pen or the paper
Your victory is short lived
For a harsh judgement ultimately awaits your arrival
Be ready.
BEST
Jacob.

Hi Carsten, bin heute seit langem mal wieder auf Sawubona gewesen. Hast du die Geschichte mit den Digital Musicians schon gesehen oder getestet? Wie geht es so, was macht die Musik?

cd review
by Norman DarwenThe first four tracks encapsulate Arkansas-born Billy Jones. ...a wicked, raw, live version of Albert King's 'Personal Manager', 'my Hometown', a bleak, stark portrayal of the ghetto set to a busy but laid-back and bluesy musical commentary that epitomizes what some have defined as his "gangsta bluez" (...though it is perhaps even better on 'Ain't Good Lookin'), the rocking, rollicking, down-home, and subtly Howling Wolf inflected 'Blues Comes Callin'' and the bluesy/ reggae…See More
