Article"I want to give hope to myself and to people around me"Stephen's (18) poem on the CoronavirusYves WillemotA boy reading a poemUNICEF South Sudan/de la Guardia01 May 2020Steven Kiama Ambrose."Poetry is my way of expressing myself, ever since I watched a poet on Kenyan television three years ago. I got inspired by how he translated his emotions and ideas in verses. I now must have written more than 50 poems, most of them deal with issues that affect our societies and communities, like droughts, war and violence among young people. I remember from the time I was still in Kenya, how misguided youth were creating violence in our communities.""I find my solace in my poetry. As COVID-19 impacted us so badly I decided to write a poem about the virus. My mother gets a lot of false information about the virus, from her friends in the neighborhood. Last time she told me that drinking your tea without sugar could protect you from getting infected. I know that is not true. With my poem I want to correct the kind of misinformation, but more importantly, I want to give my family and friends hope."
