MWANANCHIRead the poem below and answer the questions that follow. (20 marks) You embarrass me… Mwananchi Why do you embarrass me with your questions About the new Mercedes I bought The large farm I own The houses, the wives, An inflated stomach! Mwananchi Why do you threaten me with your threats The threats in your bloodshot eyes Fixedly pointed at me wherever I go Like if you are ready To release the arrow that will deflate me Into nothingness; Even the watchmen, the dogs, the police Are all not enough to protect me From your increasing shouts to protest Against my good judgement; Mwananchi Have you forgotten how you loved me And gave me your vote That I may be your man in parliament? Now that I have the power I will mend your confused senses And keep you in prison Until you see me as your leader again And keep those bloodshot eyes away from me I will charge like an angry lion And scare you out of your wits Until like a frightened dog, You keep your head forever… ~Everett M.
