POEM FOR MY SON
Dear Son, by the time you read this,
I will probably be gone,
I want you to know, that I wasn’t amiss,
I fought to the bone,
So that I could give you, your daily kiss,
But legal battles alone,
Sent me deep into the abyss,
I wanna say I Love you, I always will.
For almost seven years,
We were together every day,
All is now down to tears,
I can’t even find a way,
Meditation and prayers,
I still feel the pain of betray,
I plea with the Man upstairs,
I just wanna say I Love you, I always will.
And every night as I drift away,
I keep seeing you in my dreams,
Like a message, you’re trying to convey,
Dad, come and get me, you say,
But I can’t find the means,
And ways, for us to be a teams,
But in dreamland playdays,
I always say, I Love you Son, I always will….
💔💔💔💔

Salim Kikeke explains how Swahili could unite African nations — and help them break free from English and French.
Julius Nyerere used Swahili to help unite Tanzania — Salim connects that legacy to the wider Pan-African vision of a continent united by a common language.

A show created to give African stories a voice in international media eventually fell back into the same cycle of wars, poverty and negative headlines.
Salim Kikeke explains how the project lost its original purpose — until Africans themselves were sidelined in telling their own continent’s story.
So much for London giving Africa a voice.

How London media manufactured a narrative about the DRC elections.
