Soma taarifa hii kisha ujibu maswali
Licha ya kuwa na historia ya kiasi, maisha ya binadamu ni kioja kikubwa. Hebu jiulize jinsi uhai wako wewe mwenyewe ulivyoanza sembuse unavyoweza kupumua na kuishi siku nenda siku rudi.
Dini zimefahamisha kuwa sisi binadamu tumeumbwa na Mwenyezi Muumba. Hata hivyo muumba hutumia mume na mke kutuanzishia maisha yetu humu humu duniani. Uhai wa hapa duniani huanzia katika tumbo la mwanamke muda mfupi tu baada ya mume na mke kushirikiana katika tendo la kujamiana. Katika ngono hii yenye ufanisi, mbegu moja ya manii kutoka kwa mwanamume, hudunga na kujiingiza katika yai la mwanamke huku ikilirutubisha. Tangu hapo mtu huwa na mama akawa mjamzito. Hatua ya kwanza ya uhai!
Wanasayansi wametuthibitishia kuwa mbegu katika shahawa kutoka kwa mwanamume ina kromosomu ishirini na tatu (23) nalo yai la mwanamke lina idadi iyo hiyo ya kromosomu. Basi katika hatua ya kwanza ya uhai wake, binadamu ana kromosomu arubaini na sita (46).
Kromosomu hizo zote ndizo humfanya mtu kuwa mkamilifu kwa kukadiria mambo mbalimbali adhimu. Kwa mfano, kukadiria kama kiumbe kitakuwa cha kike au cha kiume, mtu mweupe au mtu mweusi, mwerevu au wa wakia chache, mwenye nywele za singa au za kipilipili, atakuwa na damu ya namna gani, michoro ya vidole vyake itakuwa vipi na hata utu wake utakuwa wa namna gani katika siku za usoni.
Elimu yote anayopata mtu kutoka kwa jamii na mazingira huweza tu kujenga juu ya yaliyokwisha kuanzilishwa na kromosomu katika yai lililorutubishwa tumboni.
Haihalisi kabisa kufikiria kwamba huwa katika hali ya ukupe. La hasha! Yeye hujitegemea kwa vyovyote na ana upekee wake. Hatangamani na mama yake. Roho yake humdunda mwenyewe na damu yake ambayo huenda ikawa tofauti kabisa na ya mama yake, humtembea na kumpiga mishipani mwake. Isitoshe, yeye si mojawapo katika viungo vya mwili wa mama yake vinavyomdhibiti katika himaya yake ndogo.
Amini usiamini, hapana binadamu hata mmoja ambaye amewahi kuwa sawa kimaumbile na mwingine na wala hatakuweko. Hata watoto pacha kutoka yai moja la mama hawawi sawa, lazima watofautiane. Si nadra kusikia mtu amepata ajali akahitaji msaada wa damu, na pakakosekana kabisa mtu hata mmoja kutoka jamaa yake wa kimwauni. Basi ukistaajabu ya Musa utaona ya Firauni.

Soma taarifa hii kisha ujibu maswali
Chamkosi alipiga goti huku machozi yakimdondoka njia nne nne. Mbele yake, palikuwa na makaburi mawili. Waliokuwa wamelala mle hawakuwa na habari juu ya kihoro na simanzi ya aliyepiga magoti pale. La kwanza, lilikuwa kongwe kiasi na lilikuwa limemea vichaka na magugu. La pili lilionyesha upya kwani shada za maua zilizowekwa na waombolezaji zilikuwa bado kukauka. La kwanza, ndimo babake mzazi alipolala. Nalo la pili, ndimo mamake alimolazwa kiasi cha siku mbili zilizopita.
Kwa Chamkosi, maisha hayakuwa na maana tena. Alikuwa mwanafunzi wa miaka kumi na miwili. Hakuwa amehitimu kujitegemea na kukimu mahitaji yake. Aliokuwa akiwategemea sasa wamemwacha akiwa yatima. Hakuna yeyote ambaye angejaza pengo la wazazi wake wawili kwa kipindi cha mwaka mmoja. Haya yalikuwa kama donda sugu lisilopona.
Kwa sasa, Chamkosi anayakumbuka mengi. Anakumbuka maisha ya babake. Alikuwa jibaba nene, zito lenye sura jamala na sifa nzuri. Baba mtu alikuwa na chake na alijiweza kiuchumi. Wengi pale mjini walimheshimu na kumstahi kutokana na uwezo wake wa kiuchumi.
Alitunza familia yake vizuri. Chamkosi hakumbuki siku moja aliyokosa chochote alichohitaji kutoka kwa babake. Alikuwa na bidii kazini mwake pia.
Walakini, kama mja asiyekamilika, baba mtu alikuwa na dosari moja. Aliyapenda maisha ya anasa na kufukuzia wasichana wadogo pale mtaani. Mamake Chamkosi aliyajua haya. Alijaribu kuzozana na mumewe ili aachane na tiabia hizi lakini kila akitaka ushauri, mama mtu alikemewa na kufokewa kuwa aache upuzi wa wanawake. Akafikia kufyata ulimi na kumwachia Mungu aongoze maisha ya bwanake.
Hata hivyo hakuna marefu yasiyo na kikomo. Baada ya kuponda raha na vimada si haba, baba mtu alianza kuugua. Maradhi yake yakawa ni msururu. Mara, alipata mafua yasiyopona, mara kuendesha, mara maradhi ya ngozi. Haya yalimtia wasiwasi. Baada ya kukaguliwa na daktari, alipatikana kuwa ameumwa na mbuzi. Hakuamini haya. Baba aliyekuwa bashasha na mcheshi aliingiwa na upweke na kutotaka kutangamana na yeyote hata jamaa zake.
Waliosema kuwa hakuna msiba usiokuwa na mwenzake, hawakukosea. Maradhi ya baba mtu yaliifilisi jamaa huku waking’ang’ania kumtafutia tiba. Wakaenda kwa waganga si haba. Waganga nao wakafaidi tamu.
Muda si mrefu, mama mtu naye akaanza kuugua. Baada ya uchunguzi, alipatikana kuwa na maradhi yayo hayo ya bwanake. Ikawa ni kama mji umelogwa. Baada ya muda mfupi baba mtu aliaga dunia, mama naye hakukawia. Naye akasalimu amri na kumfuata bwanake kaburini. Familia ikawa kama inaangamia. Chamkosi kijana mdogo akaachwa pweke.
Kama kawaida, mja hakosi neno. Wengi walisikika wakisema hili na lile kuhusu vifo hivi. Wengi walieneza uvumi. Lakini, Chamkosi alijua ukweli wa vifo vya wazazi wake.
Sasa hapa alipo aliyatambulia macho makaburi ya wazazi wake, anasononeka. Anaomboleza zaidi kifo cha mamake ambaye alimwona hana hatia na hakupaswa kufa kwa maradhi yale. Anaukumbuka vizuri wema wa mamake usio na kifani. anakumbuka alivyojitunza kama mke na mzazi.
Anakumbuka jinsi mamake alivyomshughulikia babake katika siku zake za mwisho licha ya baba mtu kuungama maisha yake maovu. Chamkosi alishindwa kujua kwa nini mamake akawa msamehevu kiasi hicho. Hakukosa kukumbuka wasia wa mama yake. Haya yalimfariji. Faraja hizi zilimpa nguvu mpya za kuyakabili maisha.
Chamkosi aliwaza juu ya maisha yake. Akaona kuwa, kama yatima atawategemea wafadhili miongoni mwa jamaa na marafiki wenye huruma iwapo wapo. Aliwaza jinsi anasa za babake zilivyowaathiri watu wengi.Alitambua kuwa Ukimwi haumwathiri aliyeupata tu, bali na wengine wengi. Kweli, mtego wa Panya huingia waliokuwemo na wasiokuwemo. Lakini akiwatazama watu, hakuelewa kwa nini walidhamiria kuishi ujingani. Aliwaona baadhi ya vimada wa babake wakishikana viuno na vijana wadogo. Akawasikitikia. Akabaki na swali kwa nini watu wengine wanafikiria kuwa virusi hivi haviwezi kuwapata. Kwani wanafikiria kuwa vinabagua na kuwa wao hawahatarishi maisha yao? Alishindwa kufahamu watu watabadili vipi mienendo yao miovu na waweze kukabili janga hili lini?
Kwa wakati huu, Chamkosi alikata shauri kusomea Taaluma ya Uelekezi na Ushauri kutokana na vifo vya wazazi wake. Alitaka kupata ujuzi utakaomwezesha kuwashauri na kuwaelekeza vijana wenzake ambao wanahatarisha maisha yao. Kama mshauri, alinuia kuhamasisha na kuzindua jamii juu ya hatari za Ukimwi.
Alitaka kuhakikisha kuwa hatua zimechukuliwa na kila mtu katika jamii kukabili janga hili n kuliangamiza
Chamkosi aliomba dua fupi. Akainuka na kuondoka huku akiwa na faraja na matumaini moyoni kutokana na azimio lake lile.

CHIMBUKO LA USHAIRI
Ushairi ni fani kongwe kama mwanadamu mwenyewe alivyo mkongwe duniani. Na mashairi yamekuwepo kitambo sana hata kabla ya lugha ya Kiswahili bado haijanawiri na kushamiri kama ilivyo hivi leo. Ndipo tunasikia kuna mashiri ya kipemba, mashairi ya kimvita, mashairi ya kivumba, mashairi ya kipate, mashairi ya kiyunani, ya kirumi na kadhalika,. Almradi kila jamii na kila kabila lilikuwa na mashairi yake.
Katika utafiti na kongomano zao, wataalam wa arudhi za Kiswahili asili wamechambua na kufafanua kwamba mashairi ya Kiswahili asili yake ni nyimbo za jadi zilizokuwa zikiimbwa na manju, wangoi au waimbaji stadi wa tangu na tangu walipojumuika katika matukio na hafla mbalimbali kama za jando, arusi, matanga, ngoma na shangwe zao za maishani.
Nyimbo hizi zilitumiwa na watangulizi wetu, kidhamira hazikuhitalafiana hata kidogo na mashairi ya Kiswahili tunayohimiza wakati huu. Farka iko katika lugha na umbo kwani kila jamii ilitumia lugha yake na lahaja ya mazingira yake. Na kwa upande wa umbo, tungo hizo za awali kabisa hazikuwa na sanaa kwa maana ya ushauri tunauona leo. Bali tungo hizo zilijengeka katika nguzo mbili kuu. Kwanza ni uzito wa mawazo maadilifu ambayo yalitaamaniwa sana. Na pili ni mizani ya sauti ya manju kulingana na lahani, pumzi zake pamoja na madoido katika uimbaji ambao ulikuwa burudani naathari katika noyo za wasikilizaji wake.
Kwa kifupi ni kwamba, nyimbo hizo ziliuhifaid umma kwa njia mbili, mawaidha kwa mapana na taathira au jadhba kutokana na sauti tamu ya manju.
Kama utakubalika, basi huo ndio ushairi wa awali kabisa ullioambatana na nyimbo zetu za kienyeji. Kila kabila katika nchi zetu lilikuwa na ushauri wake au nyimbo zake zenye undani uliolenga sababu maalum na tukio maalum katika jamii.
Nyimbo kama hizo kwa jina la sasa tunaweza kuita mashairi ndizo zile zilizoitwa ‘mwali’ na wakamba; gichandi kwa ‘wakikuyu’; ‘gigia gi sigele’ kwa waluo na ‘wagashe’ kwa wasukuma zilikuwa na undani wa kipekee tena uliodidimia ambao si bure kutolewa hadharani.
Aina za mashairi ya watu wa mwambao ni kama lelemama, misemele, gungu, nyiso, kongozi n.k.
