Kalma akili si mali, maskini na tajiri
Wangalimoja sampuli, asikuwepo fakiri
Na hangekuwa na mali, mwinyi bila kufikiri
Kama akİlİ si mali, usingeweza fikiri.

Ukeshapo kwa fikara, ni kwa wingi wa akili
Kuwaza kigaragara, una mengi si kalili
Na kuwa una tambara, metajirika kwa hili
Kama akili si mali, usingeweza fikiri.
Alokijenga kitanda, ana wingi wa akili
Hata asiwe na bunda, hamithili kwa akili
Hata naye paka nunda, pasipo akili hali
Kama akili si mali, usingeweza fikiri.

Akili kweli ni mali, kwa kuteua vya mwozo
Singetumia akili, ungevila vya angamizo
Afya ikawa thakili, na kuhiliki mawazo
Kama akili si mali, usingeweza fikiri.

Vipi gonjwa kikuganda, wawazia spitali?
Huachi ukawa ng’onda, ukanyauka muwili
Ugangani unakwenda, kutafuta afadhali,
Kama akili si mali, usingeweza fikiri.

Kama akili si mali, kusingekuwa na jela,
Kuwatenga kuwa mbali, wenye hiana na hila,
Kwa mbavu na ufidhuli, pamwe mbinu tolatola,
Kama akili si mali, usingeweza fikiri.

Tajiri na maskini wote wanayo akili,
Ni kuwa hayafanani, waliyonayo makali
Kabisa hawashibani, liwe lile au hili,
Kama akili si mali, usingeweza fikiri.

Kalma akili si mali, ‘singekuwa na hazina
Ya kudadisi mithali, na kumpinga yako mnna
Gani inadumu mali, kuliko huko kusana?
Kama akili si mali, usingeweza fikiri.

UFAHAMU (Alama 15)

Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu maswali.

Kijiji chetu kilikuwa kimeanza kuingiwa na wasiwasi. Katika kipindi cha miaka michache iliyopita tulikuwa tumewapoteza watu kadha na hakuna aliyeelewa kiini hasa cha majanga haya. WazeE walisikika wakisemezana kwa sauti za chini. Hatukujua hasa walichosema lakini ilikuwa bayana kuwa kijui chetu kilikuwa juu ya mchongoma. Ku umi kwetu kuna mambo yatokeayo yakaonekana miujiza.

Tunabaki kutapatapa kuelezea chanzo shake na wesemavyo, akili ni nywele kila mtu ana zake.

Ila zipo nywele za koto na za sings. Lakini kuna watu wenye kuandamwa na tata, mti wowote uliokuwa karibu ulishikiliwa kwa tumaini la kuleta nafuu.

Ndiyo, nafuu. Na ndivyo ilivyotokea kiasi cha kila mtu kuwa bingwa wa kufasiri asili ya janga na suluhu yake. Hali hii iliendelea mpaka walipofika wataalamu kuuini kwetu na kufanya utafiti wa kisayansi uliotufumbulia asili ya dhiki zetu.

Siku hiyo ya kutolewa matokeo ya utafiti, kuul kizima kilijumuika kwenye uwanja wa shule mapema.

Hakuna aliyeonyesha use wa furaha. Ilikuwa kama tuliokuwa mahakamani tunasubiri hukumu ya kesi ya jinai dhidi yetu. Siyakumbuki yote aliyosema yule mtaalamu lakini yapo yaliyotugusa sote.

“Najua mna hamu ya kujua tatizo liko wapi.

Kabla ya kulieleza tatizo lenyewe ningependa kusema poleni kwa misiba iliyowaandama.

Kuwapoteza wapendwa si pigo kwa familia tu, bali pia kwa kuui na taifa. Na kuanzia sasa ninawaomba tushirikiane kuibadilisha hali hii.

Hatuwezi kuendelea kuishi hivi,” alisema huku wanakuui wanamtazama kwa masikitiko makubwa. “Binadamu yumo katika awamu ya kujiangamiza”,aliendelea, “amefanya uvumbuzi wa teknolojia aali lakini ambayo sawa na mwaridi, ina miba.

Miba hii sasa inamchoma kila aitundaye teknolojia. Kwa sababu ya wingi wetu, sasa tunataka kuzalisha mazao yetu haraka.

Kwa sababu ya ongezeko kubwa la idadi ya watu walaji ni wengi lakini ardhi inazidi kujibana. Njia ya pekee ya kuongeza lishe ni kupitia uzalishaji zaidi wa vyakula. Katika ulimwengu ambapo vipando vile vile hurudiwa kupandwa kwenye ardhi ile ile, pato lake hupungua. Jibu la kuinua pato ni teknolojia.

Teknolojia hii imebuni uzalishaji wa mbolea ya kemikali ambazo huchochea rotuba kwenye ardhi. Urutubishaji wa ardhi yetu ndogo umetuwezesha lcuzalisha chai, kahawa, mahindi na mazao mengine kwa wingi ili kukidhi haja yetu ya chakula.

Zamani ardhi ilipokuwa kubwa na idadi ya watu ikawa ndogo, haja hii ya mbolea haikuwepo. Ardhi iliachwa kujirutubisha yenyewe. Madhara tuyaonayo sasa hayakuwepo wakati huo.” “Leo hii utashi wetu wa lcujitosheleza umetusukumizia ukingoni mwa maisha.

Vyakula vyetu sasa vina kemikali hatari kutokana na mizizi ya mimea kufyonza virutubisho vyenye nitrojeni.

Virutubisho hivi hustawisha mimea. Hata hivyo mimea hii tunayoila ina kemikali hatari kwa miili yetu. Kemikali hizi vilevile huingia kwenye nyasi ambazo huliwa na mifugo wetu. Mifugo hao hudhurika, nasi tunapofaidi bidhaa zao tunadhurika. Hata mito yetu na visima hupokea mikusanyiko ya kemikali hizi hatari, nasi tunazinywa kupitia kwa maji.

Kemikali hizi husababisha saratani, na hili ndilo tatizo la kuut hiki.” Kauli hii ya mwisho iliutikisa umati ule. Sauti za wanaktjui zilisikika zikinong’onezana.

Wengi wa wanakuut waliona kama kila kite pale kuutnt kilikuwa chanzo cha adhabu ya kifo kwao. Baada ya kule kutanabahishwa, ilisikika sauti ya mlevi mmoja aliyesema kwa sauti kubwa kabisa, “Ni hivi, ama tule hivyo vibaya tufe polepole au tuache kuvila tufe mara moja.” Tamko hili la mlevi liliwasisimua wote waliokuwa pale, wakapata walau sababu ya kucheka.

Kucheka huku kuliwatia watu matumaini, wakaanza kuuliza maswali. Kwa nini mbolea itengenezwe kutokana na kemikali hatari? Hivi dunia haijui kuwa ipo hatari kwenye mbolea hizo? Je, waache kunywa maji na kutupa vyakula walivyokuwa navyo? Waliuliza maswali haya na mengine mengi.

Yule mtaalamu hakuwa na mengi ya kusema kwa sababu alifahamu kuwa kila aina ya teknolojia ina faida na madhara yake. Kwa hivyo alieleza kwa ufupi.

“Kemikali hizo ndizo huchochea rutuba ya ardhi ambayo huiwezesha mimea kukua na kutupa mazao mcnbi.

Dunia inafahamu fika madhara ya kemikali zinazotumiwa kwenye mbolea lakini ifanyeje? Watu watakao kulishwa ni wengi.

Ardhi imepungua kwa sababu ya wingi wa watu. watu wanataka kula ilhali ardhi hiyo ndogo haina tena rutuba.

Hata maji hayo yaliyoathirika mtayanywa tu bado.

Mtaishije bila maji Mtapika vipi? Mtakunywa nini? Hali hii tunaweza kuiondoa polepole kwa kuwekeza kwsnye ufugaji wa kuku, ng’ornbe na mbuzi wengi ili tutumie mbolea yao kurutubisha ardhi yetu. Wanasayansi wanasema itachukua yapata miaka mitano kuirejesha ardhi katika hali yake asilia.”

Maelezo ya mtaalamu yule yalilta nafuu ya namna fulani kwa wanakijiji. Mzee mmoja alipewa nafasi kuzungumuza kabla ya kikao kufungwa.

Mkutano ulipomalizika kijiji kilijua tatizo lilipokuwa na kuumaliza uvumi uliokuwa unaoteshwa kila leo.

2. UFUPISHO (Alama 15)

Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu maswali.

Denıokrasia ya uwakilishi huweza kujitokeza kwa namııa tofautitofauti kutegeıvca ır‹atakwa ya nchi mahususi. Demokrasia ya Urais ni aina mojawapo ya demoloasia ya uwakilishi. Aina hii ya demokrasia humpa rais mamlaka makuu jun ya serikali.

Rais huchaguliwa ama kwa njia ya rnojiı t.wa moja, au kwa kutumia wawakilishi. Yeye hawi tu kiongozi wa taifa, bali pia wa serikali kaına iliivyo Kenya, Marekani na Ajentina. Hali kadhalika, kuna Demokrasia ya Bunge.

Aina hii huipa bunge mamlaka makubwa.

Kitengo cha utekelezi cha serikali hupata mamlaka yake katika bungeni. Kiongozi wa taifa na kiongozi wa serikali huwa watu tofauti na wenye viwango tofauti vya mamlaka. Kwa kawaida, kiongozi wa serikali huwa na mamlaka makubwa zaidİ kama ilivyo Uingereza. Demokrasia ya kimabavu huelekea kupingana na dhana halisi ya deınokrasia.

Katikaa

demokrasia hii tabaka la juu pekee ndilo lenye haki ya kuchagua wawakilishİ Wa taifa. Umma lıauna lıaki hiyo. Mfano wa demokrasia hii ni Urusi.

Demokrasia ina manufaa mengi. Demokrasia hulinda masilahi ya wananchi wote; si walio wengi, si walio wachache, si wenye nguvu, si wanyonge…Demokrasia pia husaidia kugatua mamlaka, lıivyo kuzuia kundi dogo kuwa mamlakani daima.

Hili hufanikishwa na chaguzi za mara kwa mara. Kwa vile sheria haibagui, demokrasia basi hukuza usawa kwa wote. Wale wanaochaguliwa hujaribu kuweka sera mwafaka kwa kuwa hawadumu mamlakani. Kuhusishwa kwa umma katika kuamua watakaowatawala na kuwepo kwa kipındi mahususi cha kuhudumu hupunguza uwezekano wa kutokea kwa mapinduzi.

Hali kadhalika, demokrasia huchochea mabadiliko katıka nchi kwa kuwa kila utawala huwa na kipindi chake maalumu ambapo umma hupata nafasi ya kuubadilisha, na hivyo kubadili sera na rnwelekeo wa nchi.

Demokrasîa huipa umma nafasi ya kujifunza mambo mengi kuhusu siasa.

Wakati wa uchaguzi, wagombeaji hunadi sera na rawaza zao, na hivyo kuelimisha umma. Demokrasia pia huwafanya watawala kuwa na tahadhari na kuwajibika kwa kuwa umma ulioerevuka kisiasa unawatia kwenye mizani na huenda usiwachague tena.

Ni dhahiri kwamba demokrasia ina dhima kuu katika maendeleo ya nchi. Hivyo ipo haja ya kuthamini na kuendeleza mifumo ifaayo ya kidemokrasia ili kuhakikisha kwamba hak i ya ki la raia imelindwa.
