What would I do with a koki?
As a child I would
draw all over the walls in my room
Mother called it art
Father said I was making
a mess
Disruptive.
I am simply a child,
colouring outside of the lines, the rules that society attempts to conform us to.
What would I do with a koki?
Would I write what goes exactly through my mind?
Would I feel brave, as this disguises me as an anonymous writer
The ink too think to leave handwriting
Distinguishable
Would I be like Zapiro? Or an unnamed fast food restaurant?
Drawing satirical jokes
to be criticized for criticizing.
Would I draw a Guy Fawkes mask across my face? Protect my identity as I free people
from their minds
With my koki
I would like
to colour everyone in
to remove race
But that would leave us all the same.
Equal?
Boring.
That would be worse
To steal everyone's identity. Far worse.
Would I toss my koki away?
Would I join the crowd of voiceless sheep?
What would I do with my koki?
Would I use it as my voice?
Or would I forget it in my pocket?
Leaving it to leak
to seep through the fabric
Running dry
bleeding out all its contents
Leaving nothing more than a large, black
void

What would you do if you were given a koki?
In the beginning of this year I participated in the De Beers National English Olympiad. Recently, I found out I came 70th out of roughly 8000 students.
The theme was "Secrets and Lies"
I have decided to share the second section of what I wrote, fortunately I took photos of my paper as I was handing it in.
We had to write a poem about what we would do if we were given a koki. In South Africa, our government has always been very corrupt and controlling, due to the Secrecy Bill journalists (anyone really) no longer has freedom of speech...

Awesome about comming in 70th. The struggle against sensorship will never end, even in those countries where "free speach" isn't free at all.
