A Kenyan Lawyer has launched a collection of 54 poems celebrating President Barack Obama’s recent visit in Kenya and past visits to other parts of Africa.
Author Paul Ngotho, a Chartered Arbitrator and Chartered Valuation Surveyor with experience of over 30 years in Kenya wrote a collection of poems about relationships, hope, celebration, corruption, injustice and politics.
“The poems were inspired by the various situations I have observed or experiences I have gone through in life.
“Obama, A Mamma!, the poem, was written as a poetic response to Obama’s visit to Africa in 2013. His gay agenda raised a storm in every country he toured and even in those he did not visit.
“My favourite poem in the book is Beyond Lavington. I wrote it on December 25, 1982 from personal experience after living briefly in Gatina, a slum next to Lavington.
“President Obama, it turns out is a poet. Two of the poems he wrote as a 19 year old student in Occidental College appeared in a magazine called the Feast in 1981.
“Obama wrote a poem titled Pop which was described as ‘strange and disturbing,” Ngotho told CapitalFM.
Out of the 54 poems, six of them are dedicated to President Obama; Karibu Nyumbani, The Welding, Mwana Wa Mberi, Obama, A Mamma, Barack’s Ass, and Kwaheri Lakini
