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).

Discordant voices within Me

From within me, dear Dad
I hear voices; clear, tense and discordant
One shouting knowledge and facts at any cost
Without pity, hate or love!

Another craving the golden world
Of power and glory, a cherishable gift
Wrapped in the velvet veil
Of blissful ignorance!

Yet another yearning for peace immeasurable
Toleration, moderation and accommodation
Beyond us, 'all laud'
With the romance of sweet longing!

Dad, what means this?
Which one is my true voice?
Which one speaks truth?

If to school you hadn't rushed
And swallowed up all the half-truths
Nature might have taught you - Anzigale
The meaning of voices within
They are what we are
A curious mix of competing oddities!

- Poem by Bearnerd Chahilu.
