Kamiti Maximum Prison Poem by alexander opicho

Kamiti Maximum Prison



Ka-meatless Kamiti,
In de-urbanized Nairobi,
I salute you afandeh!
Not for fear but love,
You rein my mind like
Boils' pang in the lonely night,
You did asunder Kimathi's torso
ab-poetic head as you did SP Ojuka,
A white man's riddle but all beyond
The black skull's folly fit of turn to eat
I dread you tad for the huge nemesis capacity
In your clip duty on diversity of pro-freedom-ers,
Truly, you once held all the schooled in the land,
More than the rungu-istic University of Nairobi,
May be Biafra court at Dar Salam was your par;
It had Rodney, Shivji, Armah, Fanon and stuff
Un-bowedly; you held Ngugi, Adongosi, Buke,
Abdallatif, Raila, Koigi, Mutunga and Shikuku
Miguna, Wanyiri, Muga, Ngumba, Matiba and plus
In your small pale catacombs for the living fools
Under nice guide of the Kalenjin detaineeherds,
I now rename you Kamiti maximum jail-varsity,
For you contained the top brains of the times,
Ones the university had belched and puked,
Fine scriptures came from your toilet papers,
Lo! Smooth and fine in the set than whatever
From all the schools in subjective freedom,
Are you ready to be a wonderful museum?
Darling, stuffs of your ware poetry in tears
Painfully conceived and gradually delivered
By those that prison bug the Muse, visited,
