...POOR DANDORA


Will there be a time when Dandora will look like….?
Or better?
Or never?

Have you ever passed by Juja Road and straight across Outer Ring Road?
Mathare slums pleases none, does it?
The sleeping urchins along the road
And the dust on the foot paths
Doesn’t make you sneer, does it?
All this is on our way to Dandora.

If your phone is not snatched at the roundabout,
The bone oduor will kill your smell sense
The rusty vibandas will redefine beauty
Your long afro hair is dyed brown-red-grey

The bottoms creek as the front tires immerse
The engines fail and get restarted
A minibus opts for the pedestrian side
For the road is a neglected rocky farm.

Noise, dust, sun, robbery and hunger
Mud, sewer, breakage and tribalism.

But still people live there
It may be my narrow thinking
For there are people
Who love D!


This picture I took in Kawangware. The situation is not different from Dandora.
