Thee pain I fell, not much I feel. Thee pain thy fell, not no more I felt. This is not a poem but  how trapped in a sinking wrecked feels. “όχι περισσότερο από ένα έτος" See what I did there . How long shall the pain, go on and on. Who is in charge, do own the oath.The pain I felt, not more I feel.The pain you felt, no more I feel. Plus,Plus,plus,two, two point five plus two point five, four what’s more my love. The color in my vains black, red, green and white. White like White dove yet Skin Dark like Black hole. This is not a poem but  how trapped in a sinking wrecked feels. “όχι περισσότερο από ένα έτος" See what  I did there.

 

Taxes taxes taxes .This pain in vain is enough? How long should we bled? We drown yet no one see? The pain in our hearts is growing darker? Jail is like a rite of passage? The sound of our angry stomach, now soothing to hear? Pain is part of we? The pain is spreading, our veins are getting darker? Be warn or else you will get wone -out like about?

Love Beyond Reasonable Doubt

I told her I’d teach her about Jurisdiction, Only if we could change the venue to my place  That the prosecution,  Can rest her case at my place Where I would make an order of specific performance, Of a contract for service Then make her take a look at my brief While practising some lateral equality Because what better alibi could she have Than spending the night with me?  She became fully vested, Hoping that I did not object to her leading question- Of adjourning to the bedroom Hoping to be a very vocal advocate if  I gave her my instructions well Her body was “ultra vires”, thicker than my Con Law textbook,  It was beyond my power to control myself around her And I would be held liable for negligence- If I neglected to scooch closer to her  They call me learned hand for a reason- I sued the dress off her  Made her call me Equity Cause I made her come with clean hands  I showed her my opening statement; It was up to her to close  And I gave ...

THE TRENDS OF AI POLICY AND REGULATIONS IN AFRICA

Image
 Image powered by Microsoft Bing The advancement of artificial intelligence (herein referred as AI) in Africa is poised to shape the continent’s future. More than ten (10) states have positively embraced this transformative technology to enhance efficiency and accessibility of government services. In Tanzania, farmers are now using an AI assisted app called Nuru to detect crop diseases while in South Africa computer scientists have built AI models to analyze the impact of racial segregation [1] . In the bustling city of Nairobi, Kenya we have surveillance cameras perched on lampposts which use AI to classify images [2] . Following this rapid evolution of AI, there are challenges that have necessitated comprehensive governing frameworks. Many governments have resolved to policymaking and building strategies to regulate AI within their jurisdictions. [3]   The African Union (AU) has proposed a draft AI policy aimed at establishing a cohesive regulatory environment across its...

WOMBS FOR RENT; THE DARK SIDE OF SURROGACY

Image
  AI Generated Image ‘ A long time ago there were a king and queen who said every day, ‘Ah, if only we had a child… .’ Thus begins the original tale of Sleeping Beauty, in which supernatural forces grant the King and Queen’s deepest desire, and cause a curse to befall them, all in the same breath. Such is the fate that confronts many a couple, when biological reasons hinder them from having a child. You see, there is something profound in having children. It speaks to something deep within us, the incredible desire to create life, to pass on our stories, our love, our legacy. So much so that in the good book, God gives man an explicit command to ‘ Go forth, be frutful, multiply and fill the earth ’. [1] But what happens when your body has other plans? It raises tough questions, doesn't it? Is having a child something we're entitled to, a fundamental right? Or is it one of life's precious gifts that some of us might have to find different ways to embrace? These questio...
