VILLAGE BOY/GIRL

“Cyo Ntugashukwe n’amatara y’aka…” (Let not the city lights derail you…)

This is the Capital. While the men are busy chasing blood-tainted technology gadgets and the women are busy drawing in cheekbones God did not give them. There are those who remain unaffected by city lights, money, pedigree, and trends. Always paying the school fees of a child they did not birth and rarely indulging on themselves.

Somehow mocked for not mastering useless rules like dining etiquette. As if seafood fork was made for eating fufu. Very much “Death by Assimilation!”

I look up to you, Village Boy/Girl.
