BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
(from Julius Caesar, spoken by Marc Antony)
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest–
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men–
Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.
Hotuba hii ndiyo iliyowageuza watu wakamchukia Brutus na genge lake la wasaliti...Mark Antony anamsifia Brutus tena akirejea na kurejea kuwa, ‘’Brutus ni mtu mwenye heshima,’’ na hapo hapo Mark Antony anamsifia Julius Caesar kuwa,
‘’hakuwa mtaka cheo.’’
Sasa pita katikati ya mistari ya Nape…Ah! ndugu zangu Nape ni ''Mark Antony Nape,'' Anarudia na kurejea, ''Rais wangu...'' na mengine...
Sasa ukimsikiliza Mark Antony Nape unachomwa na roho unaona kaonewa pasi na sababu...katolewa bastola pasi na sababu.
Unaungana na wale watu wa Roma.
Unataka sasa kumfurusha Brutus na genge lake.
Mwalimu Nyerere aliwaonya CCM kuhusu Prof. Malima akawaambia wasithubutu kumfukuza chama Prof. Malima kwa kuonya kuhusu hali ya Waislam katika elimu Tanzania.
Alichofanya Mwalimu aliwakaripia Maaskofu akawaambia kuwa wasidhani watakuwa wanapata kila kitu kila siku wamedekezwa sana hawa...
Kibao akakigeuza ''spot light,'' ikatoka kwa Malima ikawa inawawakia Maaskofu.
Prof. Malima ghafla akawa si ''issue,'' tena ingawa watu waliingia na moto Dodoma Malima afukuwe CCM.
Nyerere katika kikao kile akalifokea sana Kanisa.
Mpashaji wangu habari akanambia, ''Bwana mdogo usicheze na Nyerere huyu si mtu wa kawaida anayasikia maneno yako kabla hayajatoka kifuani kwako.’’
Laiti Malima angelifukuzwa CCM kwa kuionya serkali kwa ajili ya dhulma dhidi ya Waislam balaa lake lingekuwa kubwa.
Hii ilikuwa 1987.
Prof. Malima alikuwa Waziri wa Elimu.
Niwieni radhi nimekwenda mbali tulikuwa na Mark Antony Nape...
