Today I did my share
In building the nation,
I drove a Permanent Secretary
To an important, urgent function
In fact, to a luncheon at Vic

The menu reflected its importance
Cold bell beer with small talk,
Then fried chicken with niceties
Wine to fill the hollowness of the laughs
Ice-cream to cover the stereotype jokes

Coffee to keep the PS awake on the return journey
I drove the Permanent Secretary back.
He yawned many times in back of the car Then to keep
awake, he suddenly asked, Did you have any lunch friend?
I replied looking straight ahead

And secretly smiling at his belated concern That I had not, but slimming!
Upon which he said with a seriousness That amused
more than annoyed me, Mwananchi, I too had none!
I attended to matters of state.

Highly delicate diplomatic duties you know,
And friend, it goes against my grain,
Ah! he continued, yawning again, The pains we suffer in building the nation!
So the PS had ulcers too!
My ulcers I think are equally painful Only they are caused by hunger, No sumptuous lunches !

So two nation builders
Arrived home this evening
With terrible stomach pains
The result of building the nation

(a) With evidence analyze three themes found in this poem

(b) Identify two poetic devices and briefly explain intention of the poet in using those devices

To you dada,

It's the days, that matter 

For we are unable to chat 

In the language, we had.

When I look at you,

And see my pay slip 

In your eyes

I feel empty and sapped

Your glance, sister

Is to me the measure

Of the heat of the dough

In my pocket

Never are passions cool, 

To you I am now a tool

And all my wage is now the fare

I ride on your troubling kisses

It is you I accuse,

Because your love is lost

And you only touch me 

With the tenderness that asks 

Where my wallet is.

It is to you dada,

That my pen tears the pad,

For I only see your love

Focused on my purse

With your passions

Chasing my bank account.

1. What is the poem about?

Today I did my share

In building the nation

I drive a permanent secretary

To an important urgent function

The menu reflected its importance

Cold bell beer with small talk

Then friend chicken with niceties

Wine to fill the hollowness of the loughs

Coffee to keep the Ps awake on return journey

I drive the permanent secretary back

He yawned many times in back of the car

Then to keep awake, he suddenly asked

Did you have any lunch today?

I replied looking straight ahead

And secretary smiling at his belated concern

That I had none, but was slimming!

Upon which he said with seriousness

That amused more than annoyed me

Mwananchi, I too had none!

I attended to matter of state

High delicate diplomatic duties you know

And friend it goes against my grain

Causes me stomach ulcer and wind

Ah, he continued yawning again

The pain we suffer in building the nation

So the Ps had ulcers too!

My ulcers I think are equally painfully

Only they are caused by hunger

No sumptuous lunches!

So two nation builders

Arrived home this evening

With terrible stomach pains

The result of building the nation

The work of your slavery

Africa tell me Africa

Is this your back that is unbent?

This back that never breaks under the weight of humiliation

This back trembling with red scars

And saying no to the whip under the mid day sun

But a grave voice answers me

Impetuous child that tree young and strong that tree over there

Splendidly alone a midst white and faced flowers

That is your Africa springing up a new springing up

Patiently obstinately

Whose fruit bit by acquires

The bitter taste of liberty.

SECTION A (10 Marks)

COMPREHENSION AND SUMMARY

1. My friend told me of an old saying-“An idle mind is the devil’s workshop”. Because you believe this you also agree with the statement above. It is important that everyone should be able to employ himself/herself pleasurably and even profitably in their spare time, because in activity leads to boredom and a person who is bored is uninteresting; also he is more likely to fall into bad or even unlawful ways of spending his or her free time.

What is a hobby? It could be defined as some activity undertaken outside normal routine of school or work, preferably quite different from it ,so that one can get variety, which adds spice to life. It could be some form of physical activity e.g. games or athletics; mental activity e.g crosswords or chess and some form of entertainment in which you take an active part.

Your own hobby could be stamp collecting. You might find this relaxing, full of interest, educational in a pleasant sort of way. Geographical and Historical information can be gained from pictures and designs on stamps. It could be an inexpensive hobby or that most of your stamps are given to you by friends who have correspondents abroad or you are exchanging your stamps with other stamp collectors. Occasionally you might decide to buy from stamp dealers but always cheaply. You are always hoping to come across some rare and valuable stamp, though this rarely happens .

Your chief interest lies on arranging stamps in an album in order of countries – sometimes collecting only the stamps of one particular country or of one particular kind e.g stamps depicting flowers or animals. One advantage of your hobby is that it can be profitable as stamps rarely lose their value. The longer they are kept the more the value they gain.

Because of the introduction of machine and labour saving gadgets, people are earning more and more leisure time. Therefore, it will become more and more important in the future to learn to use our spare time wisely and well. A hobby is one of the best ways of doing so.
