The Kamnara of Sakwa are making ground to build for future generations

Greetings from the Kamnara of Sakwa! The Kamnara people of Sakwa on 27th December 2024 gathered at Village Park, Ajigo (near Bondo).

If you came across
A thin unfed lad
In brown plastic sandals
Contracting and relaxing legs like a cow's forelimbs

From my dry lips

If you read my mind
You will find sex among other vanities.


We are but a passing crowd
