What would Nairobi do without WAPI?Go on as it is,isn't it?but it would be like that gum that is devoid of its core molars,everything seems OK but it really isn't..
to quote "WAPI is a British council platform that makes it possible for visual and verbal artists to showcase their art (in words and pictures).We tame the underground to mean the upcoming,the undiscovered,those who by default or design are not part of the mainstream.we believe that the underground in Kenya is a hotbed of activity and creativity and we bring some of it to the fore the discerning public through regular(monthly)WAPI programme.WAPI aspires to become a talent spotting platform- the place where tomorrows best acts are identified and enjoyed.."enough said,don't you think so?
WAPI deserves a pat on the back,a handshake and most definitely thumbs up.The job is way way above commendable.Keep kicking it WAPI, we see and appreciate you big time..
For the whole WAPI die-hard community feast on this
BEST
ITS BY DESIGN AND DEFAULT THAT WE ARE NOT IN THE MAINSTREAM
BUT WE ARE LIVING WHAT WAS ONCE A DREAM
WE WHO ARE YOUNG AND TRIM
GLAM AND CLEAN
AS BRAINY AS A CAMPUS DEAN
BUT SURPRISINGLY NEVER MEAN.
IF MUSIC IS THE HEARTBEAT
THAT WE FEEL IN OUR SOULS
POETRY IS THAT MEDICINAL BALM
TO OUR BRUISED SOULS
AND GRAFFITI IS THE VENT BY WHICH
WE LET OUT THE ISSUES IN OUR SOCIETY AND SOULS
WHY THEN SHOULD WE GET PHYSICAL
YET ATOMIC ENERGY ISN'T THE MOST CRUCIAL
AND SPOONS ARE BENT BY THE MENTAL.
WE ARE THE BEST BY FAR
WE WITH THE ART AND BLACK LIKE TAR

A UGANDAN CLASSIC by TIMOTHY WANGUSA.

This classic piece is one that you read and go like; ’enough said’ no word ought to be ejected or added to this masterpiece. I hope you enjoy it. Psalms 23 part II The state is my shepherd, I shall not want; it makes me to Lie down in a subsidized house It leads me to political tranquility; it restores my faith in a lucrative future. It leads me into paths of loans and pensions, For its international reputation’s sake. Yea, even though the valley of the shadow Of Kivvulu I will fear no Kondos; For the state is with me, its tanks and guns comfort me. It preserves for me a bank account, in the presence of devaluation; It fills my pockets with allowances, my salary overflows. Surely increments and promotion follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in senior staff quarters forever.

Few poems have been written as raw and truthfully as this,well according to me,but this here is an African masterpiece.. I wanted to write you a letter my love, a letter that would tell of this desire to see you of this fear of losing you of this more than benevolence that i feel of this indefiable ill that pursues me of this yearning to which i live in total surrender I wanted to write you a letter my love, a letter of intimate secrets a letter of memories of you of you of your lips as red as henna of your hair as black as mud of your eyes as sweet as honey of your breasts as hard as wild orange of your lynx* gait and of your caresses such that i can find no better here I wanted to write you a letter my love, that would recall the days in our haunts our nights lost in the long grass that would recall the shade falling on us from the plum trees the moon filtering the endless palm trees that would recall the madness of our passion and the bitterness of our separation... I wanted to writ
